ย This time, Iโm talking to Patric Palkins, who took a very different career path before entering the Vertical world. For 17 years, Patric was a professional ballet dancer ๐ฉฐ โ trained in classical ballet and performing on some of the worldโs biggest stages ๐โจ.
He shares how he got into classical ballet, what it felt like to dance on major international stages, and the very special feeling that ballet gave him as an artist and a person.
We also talk about why he decided to hang up his ballet shoes and trade that professional career for a completely new one โ acting ๐ญ.
Along the way, we speculate why he keeps getting cast in roles with a slightly evil edge ๐ โ usually in a suit (which, by the way, is not his thing ๐) โ and where we hope the world of Verticals will head in the future ๐.
On top of that, Patric shares his personal tips on how to recharge your energy on a day off ๐โจ and gives a surprisingly simple explanation of what makes tacos so special ๐ฎ๐.
All of that and more in this episode โ have fun tuning in and listening! ๐ง๐ซ
