Beyond The Steps: Episode 1 with Roman Mejia (NYCB Principal Dancer)
Welcome to Beyond The Steps! In this new series, I’ll be interviewing some of the most inspiring and influential figures in the ballet world. Dancers, teachers, directors, choreographers, everyone who shapes this art form. And here’s the fun part: you get to be part of it. Drop your questions in the comments so I know what you want to ask future guests. For Episode 1, I sat down with Roman Mejia, Principal Dancer with New York City Ballet. We talked about training, mindset, success, pressure, funny stories, and so many practical insights dancers can apply right away. This conversation was real, educational, relatable — and honestly, just so much fun. Thank you for watching Episode 1! Stay tuned because Episode 2 of Beyond The Steps is coming soon.
