So what was I addicted to as a young dancer? Let's be honest, some would think we are crazy, for the sacrifices we make.

Beauty of ballet, pain, discipline, validation, praise?!
A cycle I still can’t fully separate from love. So hard. So draining. And somehow, still the dream.

Years in, I’m still untangling it.

Because here’s the thing — if you never ask yourself this question, you end up chasing the applause instead of the art. You show up for the version of you that gets praised, not the one who actually loves the process. And that’s a hard place to build a career from, let alone a life.

Knowing your why doesn’t make the exhaustion disappear. It doesn’t make the pain optional. But it’s the difference between surviving the grind and actually choosing it, again and again.

So I’ll ask you what I keep asking myself:

What are you really addicted to?

Sit with that one. Don’t rush the answer.

This piece to this music.. one of those you could dance and dance. A true collaboration of 5 artists and a world premiere “This nearly was mine” by assisted by .damen at the piano following our every step and my very tall partner danced for

How could motherhood do this to me? How dare it make me stronger, sharper, and more whole as a dancer than I’ve ever been. I thought becoming a mom might slow things down, instead it rebuilt me from the ground up, and honestly, rude. Here’s the damage it did: 😏

1. Stronger — turns out rebuilding a body after birth teaches you more about real strength than years of training ever did. Every comeback rep was proof I could start over and still get there.

2. Clearer — I don’t have hours to waste in the studio anymore, so now every rehearsal, try and minute in the theater counts. No more wasting time.

3. More resilient — recovery humbled me in a way dance never managed to. Babies truly teach you patience. So I learned to be patient with my body now I feel like I can be patient with anything.

4. Fearless — something about labor rewired what “scary” means to me. Now I just want to try things — new ways of being, new ways of moving, new challenges — because none of it feels as hard as what I already did.

5. Braver — I stopped shrinking myself to make other people comfortable. I take up the space I’m in now with pride.

6. More compassionate — motherhood softened how I talk to myself first, and that’s changed how I show up for other the dancers too.

I genuinely couldn’t have imagined this version of myself before I became a mother. She’s stronger, clearer, and so much more herself. Guess I’ll just have to deal with it. 🩰

Dancing Young Patrons Circle, a piece and a process that reminded me why I love to dance “this nearly was mine” by Milena Sidorova with MAIEVSKYI VSEVOLOD to beautiful piano by Ryoko Kondo with the guidance of Freek Damen, and to finish the performance with my favorite Hans van Manen ballet Black Cake.

Respect the process more than the outcome.
The stage is only a reflection of the work no one sees.
Fall in love with becoming, not proving.

You were never meant to just survive this career. 🩰

The exhaustion of managing your image, hiding your flaws, never feeling enough — that’s not dedication. That’s you disappearing.

Your artistry doesn’t need more perfecting. It needs more you.

That’s what we work on together — so you show up with confidence on stage, clarity at auditions, and trust in yourself in the studio.

The older I get, the more I realize that the best moments on stage are born long before the curtain goes up.

The performance is over in the blink of an eye. One moment you’re waiting in the wings, the next you’re taking your final bow. But the studio… that’s where the real magic happens. That’s where you spend hours creating, failing, laughing, negotiating, discovering, and shaping something that didn’t exist before.

This process was one of those rare gifts.

Working on a new creation by Milena Sidorova brought to life by Ryoko Kondo live piano, with the guidance of Freek Damen , and alongside my incredible partner MAIEVSKYI VSEVOLOD was everything I love about this art form. At first, I honestly wasn’t sure our pas de deux would work—our height difference is that significant. But with trust, curiosity, collaboration, some negotiations and a lot of laughter, we found a way.

Tonight, we were told the audience was left speechless.

That’s all you can hope for as an artist.

The performance is the cherry on top. But the process? That’s the cake. And without the cake, there’s no cherry.

Some mindset patterns become so normal in ballet that you stop noticing them… even though they’re quietly holding you back.

Previously I talked about self-sabotage, well this is it.

How many do you recognize?

1. Over-apologizing
Saying “sorry” for taking up space, asking questions, or making mistakes. Often a sign of low self-trust.

2. Overanalyzing feedback
One correction becomes an obsession instead of a tool for growth.

3. The “Good Girl” Syndrome
Staying quiet and letting opportunities pass because you don’t want to seem difficult.

4. Hiding your pain
Ignoring injuries or exhaustion to avoid disappointing others.

5. Comparison addiction
Measuring your progress against everyone else’s.

6. Fear of being seen
Holding back because you’re afraid of making mistakes.

7. Waiting to feel confident
Believing that confidence comes before action, not through action.

8. Taking corrections personally
Hearing feedback as criticism instead of coaching.

9. Equating your worth with your performance
Letting one rehearsal determine how you feel about yourself.

10. Avoiding the mirror
Only seeing flaws instead of seeing the artist.

✨ Which red flag do you recognize most?

Inside my “Dancers Mindset Community”, I break down each one, explain why it happens, and teach you how to shift it so you can dance with more confidence, freedom, and joy.

5 things no one tells you about a professional ballet career

As someone who has spent 18 years performing professionally and now coaches dancers on mental performance, I can tell you this:

Your success won’t be determined by talent alone. It will depend on how you handle these 5 challenges.

Because each one can either slow your growth or accelerate your career and fulfillment as a dancer.

1. Injuries are part of the job
They’re not just physical challenges—they’ll test your mindset too.

2. You will be replaced at some point
Taken out of a role, passed over, or recast. It’s not personal, but learning to deal with it is essential.

3. Your biggest opportunities will come with little warning
The jump-in show. No rehearsal. High pressure. Big opportunity.

4. Talent isn’t enough
The dancers who last aren’t always the most talented. They’re often the most adaptable, resilient, and reliable.

5. You’ll question yourself
Your ability, your future, your place in the industry. Every professional dancer goes through it.

The good news?

These experiences don’t have to hold you back. When you learn how to navigate them, they become some of the greatest catalysts for growth.

✨ That’s exactly why I created the Dancers Mindset Community — a space where dancers can immerse themselves in the mindset, habits, and mental skills of elite performers.

For dancers who know they’re capable of more and are ready to grow into the next level of their career.

Every dancer’s journey is different, but the goal is often the same: more confidence, more clarity, and a healthier relationship with themselves and their art.

When dancers stop fighting themselves, everything changes. Technique improves, auditions feel lighter, confidence grows, and the joy of dancing returns. Grateful to have supported through this transformation over the past 8 months. 🤍
