After Class: The Adult Ballet Podcast

Ep. 88 - Designing a Ballet Training Plan That Fits Your Life, with Katy Barton


Listen Later

Today, I sit down with fellow adult dancer, Katy, to talk about her ingenious method for designing and maintaining a ballet training schedule.

In this conversation, Katy shares her honest journey from professional burnout to rediscovering ballet as an adult, how she balances studio classes with at-home training, and why she's throwing out the word "should" when it comes to both dance and life. 

Together, we dig into the tools that make ballet training feel less overwhelming, how to filter out the noise of social media, and Katie’s super practical system for planning her weekly training schedule. If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent, felt burned out trying to do it all, or wanted a clearer structure for your own ballet journey, this conversation will feel like a deep breath.

Grab your coffee or water bottle—this one is packed with realistic strategy and permission to build a ballet life that feels good to you!
