Kristin, Michelle, and Susanne delve further into how to cultivate a growth mindset in the dance studio in this episode of Cultivating Happier Dancers. Susanne begins by sharing a childhood experience of how a devastating comment from the dance director left a long-lasting impact on her mindset.

This and a lot more eye-opening stuff. Be sure to listen in.
