Ballet in Midlife: Finding Balance and Beauty with Kimberly Wilson


Listen Later

In this inspiring episode, we are thrilled to welcome Kimberly Wilson, a two-time gold medalist at the International Adult Ballet Festival (IABF), psychotherapist, author, and host of the Tranquility du Jour podcast.


Kimberly shares her journey of returning to ballet as an adult in 2018, reigniting a childhood passion and navigating the challenges many beginners face. From finding the courage to step into a beginner class to overcoming the complexities of hyper-flexibility and left-right mix-ups, her story is one of resilience, grace, and dedication.


We dive into her tips for creating a nurturing ballet environment, the power of live online classes and private lessons, and how progress in ballet mirrors the ebb and flow of life: two steps forward, one step back.


Kimberly’s passion for tranquility shines through as we discuss her approach to balancing ballet with her multifaceted life, her love for Paris, and the importance of finding beauty in every moment.


Whether you're new to ballet, returning after a break, or simply seeking inspiration, this conversation will encourage you to take center stage in your own life.
