Ep.116 Coping with Injury. How to tell your teacher you have a problem.

Hello Everyone! Welcome Back!

Today we are going to be talking about telling your teacher you're injured and coping with injury. Being a ballet dancer is like being a race horse. When we are injured or in pain, it can feel soul destroying and absolutely terrifying to tell our teacher leading us to hide pain and be more chronically injured later which is not what we want.

We are joined by Suvi my Vaganova buddy again in this episode. let's discuss!

Ep.114. Interview with Tiler Peck. NYCB Principal Dancer. Musicality, Perfectionism, Being Yourself and Breaking the Rules!

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited for you all to listen to this really pleasant conversation I had with Tiler Peck. The world renowned, incredibly dynamic, musical and versatile dancer of today.

People have said about her

"I don't even have to hear the music to be able to know what it sounds like when I watch you dance."

Tiler Peck started dancing at her mother's studio at the age of two and was introduced to various dance styles.

She worked with former Bolshoi principal dancer Alla Khaniashvili and former New York City Ballet dancers Patricia Neary and Yvonne Munsey.

Peck's journey led her to the School of American Ballet (SAB) and eventually to New York City Ballet.

She had to navigate the transition from jazz to ballet and overcome feelings of comparison and insecurity. P

eck's musicality is a defining characteristic of her dancing, and she describes it as being an extension of the music.

She believes in breaking the rules and being fearless on stage.

In this conversation, Tiler Peck discusses the importance of musicality in ballet and how it can be taught. Can it be taught to the degree Tiler is gifted?

She emphasizes the need for dancers to listen to the music and become comfortable with it, allowing it to guide their movements.

Tiler also shares her experience as a perfectionist and how it has both helped and hindered her progress.

She highlights the importance of finding a balance between striving for perfection and letting go to fully express oneself.

Tiler also talks about the significance of downtime and having experiences outside of ballet, which can enhance a dancer's artistry and bring more depth to their performances.

Let's meet Tiler!

Ep.113 Goals aren't enough. What Systems do you have?

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to another episode. Today we are talking about something very important which is how goals aren't good enough.

We are VERY good at making goals.

We aren't so good at creating clear a trajectory to achieving them. This is why we feel so anxious, disorganised and like we aren't good enough or achieving anything.

What systems do you have in place? Let's discuss!

Apr 05, 202417:47

Ep. 112 What do you say to yourself daily? Afraid of saying good things?

Hello Everyone,

Exciting times Suvi is back for another episode. For those who don't know Myself and Suvi went to Vaganova together and now we are back together, sharing memories and our insights.

In this episode we talk about what we would have wanted to say to ourselves mentally when we were younger. We realised while at ballet school we were pretty darn negative rot ourselves.

We touch on how failing is ok and it is absolutely ket to success.

Expect helpful insights and lot's of giggles with my best ballet friend forever.

Let's discuss!

Ep.111 You want to get good? Listen to this. Get Inspired.

Hello Everyone!

Today we are listening to the amazing Wynton Learson Marsalis. The incredible iconic Trumpeter. He is obsessed with practicing and went on to win Grammys in both jazz and classical music in the same year. That's seriously unheard of.

Now for those not in the music world, winning grammys is like winning an oscar, it is the highest award you can get in music and winning in both jazz and classical categories is absolutely phenomenal. He is a sensational musician.

You won't be shocked that he worked extremely hard to get there, with a lot of practice, a lot.

This is what we are going to talk about today.

Get ready to be inspired.

Mar 15, 202421:36

Ep.110 What's your "I made it moment"? Win your Oscar!

Hello Everyone,

In this episode we are going to be talking about what your 'made it moment" is and what it looks like.

We will cover how we have to stop comparing ourselves to others in a destructive way and how we've got to focus on planting our own seed, growing our roots and nurturing ourselves to grow, on our way to "I made it moment"

So often we look at others who have 'made it' and wonder "when will I get there"? Stop wondering and let's start!

I can't wait for you to hear this episode. Remember there is only one of you!

Ep. 109 You're Injured. Now what? Let's find the opportunity.

Hello Everyone!

We all know injury totally sucks. It can feel like your life has fallen apart and that you have failed. I can feel like all your dreams are falling behind you while others are doing super well in life.

Well having been injured seriously a couple of times before, I know what this feels like. Yes, initially it absolutely sucks. Soon after though I became addicted with the opportunity to grow and become a better dancer, going back stronger than ever.

I had the desire, the faith and took the action. Let's discuss!

Ep.106 Six Steps to confidence!

Hello Everyone!

Today I will be taking you through some very easy steps to feeling more confident. Being confident isn't just something we are born with. We need to practice it just like our pirouettes Often it comes with the more "uncomfortable" situations we put ourselves in. Those situations, give us experience, which gives us growth, which gives us confidence in realising we are capable of a lot more than we give ourselves credit for.

Ep.103 Big Struggles lead to Big Breakthroughs

Hello Everyone!

Today we are going to be discussing how big struggles can lead to some of your biggest breakthroughs.

Any successful person will tell you, they have always had some of the toughest times in their life which have shaped them to who they are and that has led them to the success they have now.

It's like when you listen to any CEO they always have no money and are on the street almost just before they have their big break led by true goals and go on to be pioneers.

Dancers may have high struggle with injury or toxic environments. We learn so much from these places, it shapes us to where we end up. How you learn from these experiences is key.

It's always darkest just before the dawn :-)

Let's dicuss!

Ep.100! How to have a balanced life. Let's talk to Jess of The Whole Dancer

Hello Everyone!

First of all thank you so much for the support of the podcast. It brings me joy to help many of you all over the world. The ballet journey is hard and requires the most amount of discipline and dedication. Balance as you can imagine with this life can be hard, ballet is all encompassing and takes over.

However without balance and seeing the benefits of that, we will eventually burnout and lose all joy for what we do. Jess Spinner of The Whole Dancer, has dedicated her life to helping dancers globally find joy and balance within their training and professional career to assure it is long lasting and rewarding.

As you can imagine I resonate with her mission a lot!

Ep. 82 Creating Balance with Ballet and Life. Possible?

Hello Everyone,

Today we are going to be discussing the importance of rest and recovery and how we shouldn't feel guilty about it. Having sufficient rest and balance in your life will only help you be a better dancer. This can be hard for a lot of dancers to understand but rest, balance, hobbies and recovery is one of the best things you can do for your dancing and your health! It's what the most successful people around know the importance of. Rest doesn't always mean long periods, micro breaks of an hour or less can also make the world of difference.
