Very often, dancers think that nutrition knowledge is what they need to achieve their "best" bodies for dance. In a lot of cases, it's not the first (or most important) thing that you should focus on.
.
This podcast episode dives into that concept and helps you discover what might need your attention instead.

Before you send your dancer away to a residential training program there are a lot of factors to consider.

Every single week (if I’m being honest, almost every day), I’m connecting with clients who are going through the audition process. The dancers I work with are at every stage in their careers. I’m working with 17-year-olds going through it for the first time, dancers in their mid-20s trying to transition to a new company or a better-paying company, and even seasoned pros at the top of their careers looking for a more supportive environment to work in.
.
There’s certainly some variation in the different stages of life and career, but there’s also a big constant: the audition process sucks. It’s long, it’s stressful, and it’s full of uncertainty. This process leaves you questioning your body, your ability, your potential, and just about every decision you’ve made in your life.
There's a lot to unpack with this topic. I've addressed it before but never so blatantly. Give this a listen and let me know your thoughts!
