Ballet & Growth Mindset: Build Confidence, Focus & Resilience Through Dance! 💃✨ What if ballet could teach more than just technique? In this unique group lesson, students will improve their ballet skills while developing mental tools for success—confidence, focus, resilience, and a growth mindset! Whether your child is a beginner or intermediate dancer, they will receive coaching designed to enhance both their movement and mindset. 🌟 What Will Be Taught? This class blends ballet technique with mental training to help dancers: ✔️ Improve coordination, posture, and strength through ballet. ✔️ Develop a growth mindset—learning how to embrace challenges and progress through effort. ✔️ Build confidence by overcoming self-doubt and setting achievable goals. ✔️ Strengthen focus & discipline, which helps in dance and everyday life. Each lesson includes a specific mindset focus, such as: ✔️ Effort vs. Talent: How practice helps you improve. ✔️ Overcoming Mistakes: Why errors are part of learning. ✔️ Mindset & Performance Anxiety: How to turn nerves into confidence. 🌟 Why Choose My Classes? 🌟 My classes are intentionally kept small to ensure each student gets personalized attention, so they feel supported and confident throughout the lesson. Some sections are especially small—only 2 students—which allows me to truly focus on each child's unique needs and progress. This is a fantastic opportunity for kids who thrive with extra guidance and one-on-one interaction! 📖 How Is the Class Structured? Each 30-minute lesson is interactive and engaging: 🩰 Welcome & Mindset Intro – Discuss the week’s mental skill focus. 💪 Warm-Up– Stretching and ballet conditioning. 🎭 Ballet Technique & Application– Learn and apply new ballet skills while practicing mindset principles. 💡 Cool Down & Reflection– Review progress and set goals. 🎓 How Will I Teach? ✔️ Direct Instruction: I demonstrate ballet movements and mindset concepts. ✔️ Interactive Learning: Students actively engage with guided practice. ✔️ Discussion & Reflection: We talk about mindset principles and apply them in real-time. ✔️ Personalized Feedback: Each student receives individual corrections to improve technique and confidence. 🌍 Teaching Style & Interaction My approach is encouraging and student-focused. I believe in creating a supportive environment where students feel safe taking risks, making mistakes, and growing as both dancers and individuals. 🎯 Hands-On Practice: We reinforce mindset lessons through movement. 📢 Guided Discussions: Students reflect on growth mindset principles as they dance. 💡 Bonus: This class is based on the principles in my book, The Secret Dance Technique, which teaches dancers essential mental skills for dance and life. 📣 Give your child the gift of dance AND a strong mindset—enroll today!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from State University of New York at Fredonia
I am the author of "The Secret Dance Technique," a book that explores essential mental skills through the lens of dance. It includes extensive research on the topic and interviews with many professionals.
I have also performed worldwide, including at Walt Disney World, Motiongate Dubai UAE, and on a cruise ship. My teaching experience spans two years at an elementary school in Spain, alongside teaching dance across various U.S. states and to a global student base online. These diverse experiences as both a dancer and educator have shown me how vital skills like focus, resilience, creativity, and divergent thinking are—not just in the arts, but in every area of life. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree with dual majors in Psychology and Interdisciplinary Studies, specializing in Performance Psychology, with a minor in Dance.
