Candi presents - the Backstage pass podcast

An incredible chat with INTERNATIONAL CHOREOGRAPHER AND LEGND IN THE BALLET WORLD, SIR DAVID BINTLEY CBE. Since I left the Birmingham Royal Ballet company rather abruptly, I have at times felt sad, unsure if I would ever find my peace of giving up my dream. But the journey I'm on now gave me the courage to reach out to this magnificent man. Sir David Bintley (CBE) has created famous ballets such as still life at the penguin cafe, Hobsons choice, Beauty and the beast, Gallentries, and Carmina Burana. We talked about David's journey, which had so many incredible stories I'd never heard. It was wonderful to see that passion and drive really do give you that bit extra when it comes to being a successful artist.https://www.davidbintley.co.uk/
