She's just a dancer

It happens to everyone- whether you're on stage for the very first time or a star; chances are you'll experience performance anxiety at some point in your career. Today we're talking about Jo's recent experience and trying to find out why there seem to be situations where performing is harder than normal.
Our minds are tricky things and the best chance we have of being successful, happy, and healthy is to get to know ourselves and take care of our mental health.

Our shesjustadancer.com website is up and running and our masterclass is happening at Pineapple London on 6th March! Enter for a chance to dance and learn with us here.

This episode is quite something! Not only is our friend and showbiz powerhouse Gary Lee back, you'll hear us losing it a few times during the show- it was impossible not to as he tells it like it is about his recent injury. Why are we laughing at an injury? We're not, listen and you'll understand:)
From coming back on stage after lockdown to starring in a hit Everybody's Talking About Jamie and then suffering what could have been a career-ending injury- Gary's sharing it all and being his usual inspiring, fun and incredibly positive self. Enjoy!

The pandemic has been awful for the performing arts industry-shows canceled, theatres closed, and the uncertainty of shows reopening just to close down again. But in the case of Lindsay Atherton it has been the catalyst for a one-of-a-kind idea- a platform for performers to train, share their experience and improve their skills online.  Thus Magnetic Studios were born - an endless choice of classes, seminars, and workshops on more topics than we can mention.
A dancer, choreographer, and businesswoman- Lindsay embodies the very essence of what it means to be an inspirational woman.

Another of our favourites from Season 1 is Ed Watson MBE, the longest-serving principal dancer of The Royal Ballet and an absolutely amazing performer. We spoke to Ed before his retirement about his career, what's it like growing up as a male dancer and how he changed the stereotypical view of what a principal dancer should look like forever.
