BABY FACE TALK - Episode 2 🇩🇪 - "COMPLIMENT" feat. Manuela Löffelhardt II Lenny Pojarov

Join me, Lenny Pojarov, as I sit down with Manuela Löffelhardt, the artistic director of Phantasialand, one of Germany’s most iconic entertainment destinations. We dive into her journey as a professional dancer, her first steps in show business, and what it really takes to thrive as a woman in the world of performance. From body image and ballet to a holistic approach to creativity, Manuela shares her insights on tolerance, respect, and beauty in everything, while I connect her story to my song “Compliment”, celebrating the power of recognition and encouragement. Stream “COMPLIMENT” here: https://ffm.to/lennyscompliment We also talk about the Cologne Carnival, Fantissima, and what it’s like to manage both a team and your own artistic vision in a high-pressure industry. Plus, enjoy some fun intermezzos, including a walk through the Ling Bao Garden winter wonderland and behind-the-scenes stories from a lifetime in show business.
