My guest today is an Educator and the Founder of The Future School of Performing Arts (FSPA), which is India's first school that provides a formal education in dance and the performing arts, including foundational courses in ballet, contemporary, jazz, as well as theory courses such as dance history, production, anatomy, kinesiology, business and entrepreneurship. 

Antara's approach to dance and dance education is completely unlike anything I've come across before. We started our discussion today with a deep dive into the athletic mindset that, according to Antara, is the cornerstone of success for any world-class performer. Apart from that we also discuss: 

1) What it takes to get truly committed and the difference it can make!

2) How your mind and your emotions play a role in physical injuries and how removing mental blockages can help the healing process

3) How to manage the day to day stress along with the stress of training to be a world-class performer.

4) How to build a recovery protocol as a habit

5) The advantages of athletic training like dance or martial arts in preventing traumatic injuries

And much, much more!
