Join Madison Ballet and host Chris Fahrenthold for At the Barre--a salon series where dance meets conversation in the cozy, book-lined heart of Leopold's.

Each evening features an intimate discussion with a special guest from the world of ballet--whether a dancer, choreographer, teacher, or member of the creative team--offering a behind-the-scenes look at the ideas, stories, and creative processes shaping the season's productions.

Free and open to the public, these events offer an up-close look at the world of dance in one of Madison's most beloved cultural spaces.

This month’s event features Chloe Angyal, former journalist and author of Turning Pointe: How a New Generation of Dancers is Saving Ballet From Itself and the romance novels Pas de Don’t, Pointe of Pride, and Barre Fight.
