This week we’re joined by Steven Goforth for an honest conversation about growing up as a male artist in ballet. From training in a nurturing environment to dancing with Nevada Ballet Theatre, Steven shares his perspective on identity, longevity, and what it means to evolve beyond the stage.

We talk transitioning into teaching, finding fulfillment outside of performance, and how curiosity and support shape the artist over time. A thoughtful, grounded conversation about growth, mentorship, and staying open to what’s next.

Thanks for hanging out with us on Beyond the Pointe.

We’re two girls waiting in the wings — and we’re so glad you’re here.

Friendship hits different when you’re no longer fighting for the same spotlight.
In our first episode of the season, we talk about aging in ballet, evolving friendships, and what it means to grow with each other instead of apart.
This is the artist growing up — softer, stronger, and still standing.

This week’s episode is all about gratitude. We’re taking a moment to reflect on what ballet has given us — the obvious and the unexpected. From friendships and resilience to moments onstage that shaped who we are, we share stories about why we’re still grateful for this art form, even with all its complexity. A thoughtful, feel-good conversation to close out the season.
