Hello Everyone,

Today I am joined by Suvi as we discuss home sickness in ballet. We both ventured form our home towns and travelled to Russia at a young age, not knowing the language or even what to expect. Being very close to our mothers made things that much harder but we realised some very key important components and mindset tools that made this more manageable. In the end we have to do uncomfortable things to come out the other side the person we dream to become.

I hope you enjoy this episode and it helps you :-)

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to this episode! This is a much-asked question I get. Should we push? Or should we rest?

As dancers, we are hard-wired to push, seeing rest as a weakness. This is far from the truth, and this episode is all about helping you road map your days and weeks understanding when to push, or when to go easier for the sake of consistency and a lasting career.

Hello Everyone,

Today we will be talking about nerves as an artist. How to cope and deal with this as an artist who is under high pressure.

We will be focusing this episode on Janet Baker who was a renowned opera singer of the 20th century.

She was an amazing Soprano considered one of the greatest Opera Singers. Her problem was she had crippling stage freight. As a dancer, I found this inspiring, even the greats struggle with fear!

I thought this would help many of you to talk about in your own unique pursuit.
