My name is James Whiteside and I’m a principal dancer and choreographer with American Ballet Theatre in New York City, and the author of Center Center. Join me as I speak to artists and professionals in the business of art while we try to find the answer to the elusive question: How can I be successful in the arts? Check your ticket and take your seat. You’re in the Front Row.

Superb Host

Humorous, intelligent podcasting. James isn’t overly-talkative; allows guests to speak without interjections or “uh huh”s/unnecessary filler. Enjoyable listen.

Loved the first episode

I expected to enjoy it as James and Isaac are both interesting, intelligent and funny guys but it exceeded my expectations. It went back and forth from deep to fluffy and it was such a great window into the creative spirit of both. Can’t wait for the next episode!

James is back!

I enjoyed James’ old podcast so I was excited when he announced this new venture. It’s a little different. More sophisticated. But I very much enjoyed it. Looking forward to future episodes!

A fabulous and frank discussion on what it means to be a creative

A witty and often poignant discussion on the inspiration, drive, sacrifice, and vision that it takes to become a leader across various creative industries. James Whiteside is able to draw out these insights from his guests with his affable charm and fluid interview skills. A must-listen!
