Claire Kretzschmar, a dancer and soloist with the New York City
Ballet, joins the show to discuss her path to becoming a
professional dancer, the challenges and joys of being a Catholic in
the ballet world, and the spiritual value of dance. She also
discusses a beautiful dance film which she choreographed for the
NYC Ballet this year, and the Catholic arts community she founded
in New York City, of which Thomas is a part.
