But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids

But Why is a show led by kids. They ask the questions and we find the answers. It’s a big interesting world out there. On But Why, we tackle topics large and small, about nature, words, even the end of the world. Know a kid with a question? Record it with a smartphone. Be sure to include your kid's first name, age, and town and send the recording to questions@butwhykids.org!

Why do people dance? Where did ballet come from? How do you make pointe shoes for ballet? How does practice make you better at things? But Why visited <a href="https://www.dancetheatreofharlem.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dance Theatre of Harlem</a> to get answers to these questions with company artists Derek Brockington and Lindsey Donnell.
