As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, this episode of Beyond The Studio explores an important conversation around mental health in the dance world.

Hayley is joined by Bronia, founder of Resili Dance, to talk honestly about the pressures many dancers and their teachers quietly carry behind the scenes, perfectionism, anxiety, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and pressure.

Together, they discuss:

• The hidden pressures dancers often experience
• What “high functioning but struggling” can look like
• Signs parents and teachers may unintentionally miss
• How we can create healthier, more supportive training environments
• What helps young people feel safe, supported, and able to thrive

This conversation is for parents, teachers, dancers, and anyone passionate about supporting young people not just in performance, but in their wellbeing too!
