Hello Everyone, Today I am joined by Suvi as we discuss home sickness in ballet. We both ventured form our home towns and travelled to Russia at a young age, not knowing the language or even what to expect. Being very close to our mothers made things that much harder but we realised some very key important components and mindset tools that made this more manageable. In the end we have to do uncomfortable things to come out the other side the person we dream to become. I hope you enjoy this episode and it helps you :-) Enjoy!

Hello Everyone, Welcome back to another episode with myself Isabella. Today we are speaking with amazing principal dancer Denys Cherevychko. He is a beautiful dancer most notably with Vienna State Opera and Ballet however he is also a wonderful touring dancer, working in my galas and guesting worldwide.

Hello Everyone! Welcome Back! Today we are going to be talking about telling your teacher you're injured and coping with injury. Being a ballet dancer is like being a race horse. When we are injured or in pain, it can feel soul destroying and absolutely terrifying to tell our teacher leading us to hide pain and be more chronically injured later which is not what we want.

Hello Everyone, I am so excited for you all to listen to this really pleasant conversation I had with Tiler Peck. The world renowned, incredibly dynamic, musical and versatile dancer of today. People have said about her "I don't even have to hear the music to be able to know what it sounds like when I watch you dance." Tiler Peck started dancing at her mother's studio at the age of two and was introduced to various dance styles. She worked with former Bolshoi principal dancer Alla Khaniashvili and former New York City Ballet dancers Patricia Neary and Yvonne Munsey. Peck's journey led her to the School of American Ballet (SAB) and eventually to New York City Ballet. She had to navigate the transition from jazz to ballet and overcome feelings of comparison and insecurity. P eck's musicality is a defining characteristic of her dancing, and she describes it as being an extension of the music. She believes in breaking the rules and being fearless on stage. In this conversation, Tiler Peck discusses the importance of musicality in ballet and how it can be taught. Can it be taught to the degree Tiler is gifted? She emphasizes the need for dancers to listen to the music and become comfortable with it, allowing it to guide their movements. Tiler also shares her experience as a perfectionist and how it has both helped and hindered her progress. She highlights the importance of finding a balance between striving for perfection and letting go to fully express oneself. Tiler also talks about the significance of downtime and having experiences outside of ballet, which can enhance a dancer's artistry and bring more depth to their performances. Let's meet Tiler!

Hello Everyone! Today we are listening to the amazing Wynton Learson Marsalis. The incredible iconic Trumpeter. He is obsessed with practicing and went on to win Grammys in both jazz and classical music in the same year. That's seriously unheard of.

He is a sensational musician. You won't be shocked that he worked extremely hard to get there, with a lot of practice, a lot. This is what we are going to talk about today. Get ready to be inspired.

Hello Everyone! Today I will be taking you through some very easy steps to feeling more confident. Being confident isn't just something we are born with. We need to practice it just like our pirouettes Often it comes with the more "uncomfortable" situations we put ourselves in. Those situations, give us experience, which gives us growth, which gives us confidence in realising we are capable of a lot more than we give ourselves credit for.

Hello Everyone! First of all thank you so much for the support of the podcast. It brings me joy to help many of you all over the world. The ballet journey is hard and requires the most amount of discipline and dedication. Balance as you can imagine with this life can be hard, ballet is all encompassing and takes over. However without balance and seeing the benefits of that, we will eventually burnout and lose all joy for what we do. Jess Spinner of The Whole Dancer, has dedicated her life to helping dancers globally find joy and balance within their training and professional career to assure it is long lasting and rewarding. As you can imagine I resonate with her mission a lot!
