This episode is all about mentorship and community, and why I believe it’s the secret to success in our dance industry. I share the mistakes I made early on and the lessons I learned along the way.

Recently I asked this wonderful village of dance coaches and teachers to submit questions that I could answer on the show. So in this episode, I have 3 questions about sport psychology and dance straight from the community. One of my favorite things about my job is getting to know and connect with fellow dance professionals and passionate coaches.

15. How to Measure Success

Passion for Dance ·

2021/05/13

Whenever a dancer is competitively successful, we see lots of social media posts, public praise, and gratitude. And rightfully so. When a dancer comes out on top of the rankings the coach and dance teachers are usually a big reason why. We should celebrate and congratulate those dance educators on a successful event. But what about when dancers don’t have a great competition and they fall short of their competitive goals? Is the coach any less successful? I think it’s important to stop and

This week we are going to focus on leadership specifically for high school and college dance teams. But if you don’t have captains on your team or you’re in the studio world don’t leave me just yet. You probably have informal leaders at your studio or ballet company, and whether you call them captains or they are the appointed leaders of the group here are an important concept to remember: A leader’s influence can be either positive or negative, but it’s never neutral. So whether you have formal

Passion for Dance ·

2021/04/29

When I was dancing 20+ hours a week and basically living at the studio, I was always focused on improving my technique. All my energy went into getting stronger at the ballet barre, working flexibility, and trying to nail that hard across the floor combo in turns and leaps class. What I wasn’t thinking about, was my mindset. I wish I could say I “got it” intuitively and knew how to harness the power o f sport psychology at an early age. But in reality, I was (am) a perfectionist who worries about

As a coach or a teacher, we’ve all been through the challenges that come with the end of the season. You’ve been training your competition routine for months, it’s rounding to the end of the season and it’s time to push through those last few big events, planning a recital, or getting ready for nationals, however, you end your year. For me, there were years where this transition into that last big push went smoothly. The dancers were ready for the increased practices, motivated each other to keep

As dance educators, we often have to make difficult, emotional decisions. It might be tryouts for a school team, or a studio making decisions about company level, who is in which routine… there are many times where we have to make decisions that we know will have a big emotional impact on the dancers we love. That can be a really heavy feeling! I know we all have different levels of emotional attachment, and I know I’m on the more emotional end of the spectrum, but I also know that many dancers are

How do you become a confident dancer? Are some dancers just born as more confident people while others have to struggle with self-consciousness? The short of it is, yes some people are naturally more confident but no matter what, you can learn to be more confident. There are specific things you can do to train your brain to see the world differently and feel more confident every time you take the stage.

Many of us have seen the dancer who freezes when they try to do a hard skill. It could be a new hip hop trick, new jump, aerial, just about anything. But it’s common when dancers are trying to learn a new challenging skill that they freeze up and absolutely can’t do it. OR maybe it’s a skill they’ve had before but something happens like they miss it during an important competition or they get injured and now they have a mental block and can’t perform the skill anymore.

Dance educators work for the love of dance. But it certainly helps if we have a group of dancers we adore and want to work with every day. This episode is a conversation about creating a positive culture and it will apply if you coach a school team, teach at a studio, own a studio, or really any situation where you are working with dancers or other dance educators. Team culture is what keeps us going. If you work with good people, you stay. Dancers work harder for a team they feel a part of. Dance

2021/03/04

As educators, we are trained in the skills of our sport. We know how to teach our athletes to clean up a routine, improve their turn technique, or achieve a new hip-hop trick. What we don’t always understand is how to coach them to prepare for competition day. Or lately, how to coach through a pandemic. If you never talk to your dancers about mindset and spend time specifically training your athletes to deal with unpredictability, you’re allowing for the unexpected to clutter their minds and pull

Passion for Dance ·

2021/02/25

Many of us choose to teach our dancers with the same disciplinary approach we grew up with and that often includes punishment when dancers don't follow the rules. Why do we use punishment? Because it usually works and provides the desired short-term result. But is it the best thing for the long-term goals of your program and the psychological health of your dancers? In this episode, I want to let you know about the research in psychology around punishment and performance, discipline, and mental

2021/02/21

Dancers train our whole lives for only a few minutes on stage. Just a few minutes under the stage lights, just one opportunity to show off what we’ve worked so hard on. And sometimes we leave the stage feeling like it wasn’t enough. I want to make sure if your dancers leave the stage and feeling like they made a mistake, or wishing they had a chance to do it over again, that you’ll know how to support them. Because dancers have to learn to be resilient. We need to teach them how to bounce back
