A Dancer's Mindset

Ep. 147 Why am I not improving? Strategies for constant progress


Listen Later

Hello Everyone!

In this powerful episode of A Dancer’s Mindset, Isabella and Suvi dive deep into a frustration so many dancers face:


"Why am I not improving, even though I’m working so hard?"


Together, we explore the real reasons your technique might be plateauing—and it’s not always about effort. We cover:


✨ The hidden habits that could be holding you back
✨ How to stop relying solely on your teachers for progress
✨ Why taking your training into your own hands is a game-changer
✨ The mindset shift that helps you move from stuck to skyrocketing

We’ll also share practical tips and personal stories about how we made real progress by becoming intentionalcurious, and self-led in our training.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated, confused, or discouraged about your technique, this episode is your reminder that you have more power than you think. You can change the trajectory of your dancing starting today.

🎧 Tune in now and take control of your growth.
