- Hello Everyone! Today I have the huge honour of speaking with ABT Principal Dancer Skylar Brandt.
Skylar is one of the most driven dancers I have spoken too. Working on her days off, extra coaching sessions when she can squeeze them in. She always has seen value in 1:1 tuition and even as a pro ballerina will make time for it.
Skylar is a gorgeous dancer whose technique is flawless and has such mature artistic charm. Many of us can learn a lot from her.
Let’s meet Skylar!
I hope you enjoy the interview!

About Me
Hello everyone! my names Isabella.
I am the first British graduate of the Vaganova ballet academy in Saint Petersburg Russia. I was a soloist working with the Mikhailovsky Ballet and Eifman ballet.
Now I live in London as a full time coach
Here, on my channel I am sharing my passion with you all about the Vaganova technique amongst many other things related to ballet we all love.
It's a hard industry so I am here to help with my insights and knowledge to make it a little easier for you all, as well as to hopefully entertain you with my content.
Thank you for watching!
Really appreciate how open and genuine Skylar is! Honest about everything from her privilege to something small like wearing arch enhancers, just really refreshing to see.
Even nowadays it feels like much of ballet’s ‘inner world’ still takes place behind closed doors, so thank you for helping open them up with these interviews!
Another moving eloquent, and beautiful interview. Thank you so much. Visionary and committed women sticking to a vision.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can you interview Mariinsky dancers like Masha Bulanova, etc?
And Skylar is amazing 👏 😍 . My fave American prima so far
This interview was fantastic. I love Skylar Brandt. Her artistry, intelligence, talent, and level of gorgeous humility are a wonderful package. Your interviewing skills are excellent!!! Brilliant job. Thank you so much. ❤️⭐️👏👏👏
Lovely, really interesting interview. There just aren't enough superlatives to describe Skylar Brandt. So outrageously talented and disciplined, generous and humble to a fault. Amazing.
"I was going to be the best tree I could be..." is surely a lesson for life.
Having a teacher that exposes you to "fall in love with the hard work and the challenge" reminds me of David Hallberg's beginnings in ballet too! Here's to all those amazing teachers who help us all strive to become better at our crafts. Long time fan of Skylar's and so great to hear she also chose to ground her technique in the Russians too. What an insightful interview, thankyou Isabella!
Totally empathize with the pressure that comes onto myself when asking for something outright
thank you so much for this insightful and comforting interview. it's inspiring to listen to a conversation between two admirable women like you and Skylar Brandt!!
Skylar is such an amazing dancer and on top a very nice person :) Thank you for this wonderful interview, Isabella!
Interesting comment, feeling the difference between the dancey and refined romanticism, and quick footwork and more technical aspects of the role. I've always wondered how dancers cope with parts they're not naturally attuned to.
I love these videos! 🤍
Loved this!!! ❤❤❤
I adore Skylar even more now after watching this interview! Her family’s videos were one of the few highlights of the pandemic for me! It would be awesome if you could interview her mom and dad to hear their philosophies and practices on being supportive parents-both actual and surrogate-to artists. Thank you! 💕🩰
Yesss agreed! I absolutely adore these interviews with star dancers and I’m sure the big names help bring in views, but it would also be wonderful to hear from the people supporting dancers in various ways as well.
Apologies if that comes across as entitled in any way - I don’t want to be demanding content from anyone! 😅
But I do think the type of thing you suggested could be very beneficial for younger dancers & their families, or even teachers & coaches.
Hello, I am an indeed fan of your channel. Please interview to Paloma Herrera, Julio Bocca, Cinthya Labarone or Carlos Acosta or any current latin dancer 🙏
❤️💜❤️
pre computers? I'm 35 and grew up with computers lol
You must have had money. I'm 36 and I didn't have regular computer or Internet access until I was 15.
I think she was alluding to the fact that young children didn't have those things. Skylar Brandt is 30 years old now and the first iPhone didn't arrive until 2007, when she would have been about 14.
