In the third installment of our deeply moving and eye-opening series with actress Juliette Angelo, we delve into another chapter of her courageous story. Following Part 1, where Juliette bravely recounted her harrowing experiences with ritual abuse and trafficking by her own parents, and Part 2, where she shed light on the abuse she endured in Hollywood and on Broadway, this episode explores the dark underbelly of the dance community.

Juliette shares her personal experiences of alleged abuse at her mother’s New Jersey-based dance studio and within the broader dance world. She sheds light on what she describes as a deeply ingrained culture that leaves dancers, particularly children, alarmingly vulnerable to mistreatment. Drawing parallels to the systemic failures uncovered in the Larry Nassar case within gymnastics, Juliette highlights the lack of safeguards, oversight, and accountability in many dance institutions. Through her story, she calls for urgent reform to protect dancers and foster a safer, more supportive environment in the dance community.
