A Dancer's Mindset (Ballet with Isabella )

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back! Are you addicted to overthinking? I hear you. It can be so difficult to get yourself out of these psyches of overthinking and stress, feeling like it's taking you over completely, like you are totally alone and in a downward spiral.

This doesn't have to be the case. Let's discuss!

Hello Everyone!

We all know injury totally sucks. It can feel like your life has fallen apart and that you have failed. I can feel like all your dreams are falling behind you while others are doing super well in life.

Well having been injured seriously a couple of times before, I know what this feels like. Yes, initially it absolutely sucks. Soon after though I became addicted with the opportunity to grow and become a better dancer, going back stronger than ever.

I had the desire, the faith and took the action. Let's discuss!

Hello Everyone,

Today we are going to be discussing the importance of rest and recovery and how we shouldn't feel guilty about it. Having sufficient rest and balance in your life will only help you be a better dancer. This can be hard for a lot of dancers to understand but rest, balance, hobbies and recovery is one of the best things you can do for your dancing and your health! It's what the most successful people around know the importance of. Rest doesn't always mean long periods, micro breaks of an hour or less can also make the world of difference.

Hello Everyone!

Today we are going to be discussing how big struggles can lead to some of your biggest breakthroughs.

Any successful person will tell you, they have always had some of the toughest times in their life which have shaped them to who they are and that has led them to the success they have now.

It's like when you listen to any CEO they always have no money and are on the street almost just before they have their big break led by true goals and go on to be pioneers.

Dancers may have high struggle with injury or toxic environments. We learn so much from these places, it shapes us to where we end up. How you learn from these experiences is key.

It's always darkest just before the dawn :-)

Let's dicuss!

Hello Everyone! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lucas Lima who is a wonderful Principal Dancer of The Norweigan National Ballet as well as a wonderful teacher of The Academy. Lucas is a Brazilian Dancer, who recieved a place at The Royal Ballet School which changed hIs life forever. Despite being a dancer in school who didn't get injured, his mental strength was tested in his professional life.

He had not one but a few serious injuries. Despite this, Lucas has this amazing perspective on life, living with gratitude even with these hard lessons. it was wonderful to talk to him.

Now to all the dancers out there I know we think about looking after our muscles and toes a lot but do you think about looking after your organs? How about the brain? The brain is such an important component to our psychological health. If it's not kept healthy and working at optimal levels with enough sleep and vitamins and mindset work then it's no wonder we suffer from things like anxiety and depressive feelings. Let's discuss

Hello Everyone! 

This episode was quite amusing to record. 

The weight we place on situations is honestly so silly. We really believe that the world might end if we fail at something, which leads people especially with an tendency to be anxious to think terrible things before they have even happened. 

In this episode I will remind you to rationalise, remind you of how life was for people who had the threat of death on a daily basis and how sending an email or doing a pirouette combination doesn't have to be do or die!

Your Secret Weapon to Excellence!

Hey guys welcome back to a dancers mindset with myself isabella, as ever, thank you so much for the support and love surrounding the bwi community and this podcast.

Today we are going to be talking about how to improve our body image

I get alot of messages from you guys saying you worry about your weight, worry about putting on weight, worry you aren’t skinny enough, or as skinny as someone else and this all leads to a damaging way of thinking, eating disorders, low bone density, lack of female hormones and an array of problems. It all starts by you looking in the mirror and saying, i’m not thin enough.

Here today, I'm going to help you improve that self image and take the focus away from negative thoughts and direct it to your ballet and you as an artist as you should!

Enjoy! 

Hello Everyone! Today we are going to be talking about how to deal with a plateau or those feelings of "this is my limit" "I can't get any better' 'I have achieved all I can. Well I am here to tell you that is nonsense and the growing never stops! We need to master how to seek continuous inspiration and never lose that desire for growth and being uncomfortable.

Hello Everyone,

I am super excited to speak with fellow British Vaganova graduate Taiga Kodama - Pomfret. Taiga shares the reality of going from English Technique to Russian and what a shock to the body it is. It is clear Taiga had his heart set on Russia from a young age and it's amazing to see his progress, watching his hard work and dedication pay off.

Let's hear from Taiga!

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.

What struck me is his wonderful mindset. Despite being thrown into many parts, many roles, his mindset has stayed solid and trusting of himself.

Being a Principal dancer goes far beyond the steps, there needs to be a certain head on your shoulders to be able to achieve your fullest potential as a dancer and artist.

This was a very valuable conversation and I hope you enjoy it!

Hello Everyone!

In this powerful episode of A Dancer’s Mindset, Isabella and Suvi dive deep into a frustration so many dancers face:

"Why am I not improving, even though I’m working so hard?"

Together, we explore the real reasons your technique might be plateauing—and it’s not always about effort. We cover:

✨ The hidden habits that could be holding you back
✨ How to stop relying solely on your teachers for progress
✨ Why taking your training into your own hands is a game-changer
✨ The mindset shift that helps you move from stuck to skyrocketing

We’ll also share practical tips and personal stories about how we made real progress by becoming intentional, curious, and self-led in our training.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated, confused, or discouraged about your technique, this episode is your reminder that you have more power than you think. You can change the trajectory of your dancing starting today.

🎧 Tune in now and take control of your growth.

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.

Now for those not in the music world, winning grammys is like winning an oscar, it is the highest award you can get in music and winning in both jazz and classical categories is absolutely phenomenal. 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,

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!

Thank you for joining me for another episode. Today we will be discussing strategies on how to stop people pleasing and where this pattern of behaviour even stems from because it often comes from childhood and is learned. Ballet is particularly something which invited wanting to people please as we are constantly trying to please our teachers and parents maybe. Here we discuss it and try to learn ways we can keep it under control 

Please follow the podcast for more and I appreciate you all! 

Hello Everyone!

Do you find when you have a show coming up or you've been given a big part, you feel initially really great and happy but then all of a sudden sheer panic and angst that you won't be good enough or that you'll be found out as an imposter which subsequently leads to a host of issues like performance anxiety.

Let's discuss!

Hello Everyone!

Have you ever felt invisible in ballet class, like no matter how hard you work, you’re not getting the corrections or attention you hoped for?

In this episode, we dive into why this happens, how to shift your mindset, and what you can do to stand out for the right reasons.

We’ll also discuss the dangers of instant gratification and why true progress in ballet (and life) comes from patience, consistency, and focusing on the work, not just the outcome. If you've ever struggled with feeling unnoticed or frustrated with slow progress, this episode is for you.

I was very insecure about my height for a while, until I decided to embrace it. I will share comments that were made to me that were quite damaging along with how I needed up owning my difference and surrounded myself with the right people.

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!

Hello Everyone!

Today we will be discussing what it takes to get to freak or crazy level! Have you ever called a dancer insane, or crazy in a good way?! Usually it means they have blown your mind with their ability. Now maybe you think you can't get to that level yourself but I say you can!

Hello Everyone,

In this heartfelt episode of A Dancer's Mindset, we tackle the all-too-familiar feelings of fear and overwhelm. Whether you’re facing big life decisions, navigating a challenging period, or striving for a goal that feels out of reach, fear and overwhelm can make it hard to see the way forward.

We’ll uncover the root causes of these emotions and share practical tools to shift your mindset, break tasks into manageable steps, and regain control. Discover how to quiet the inner critic, embrace uncertainty, and take action even when things feel impossible.

Overwhelm doesn’t have to paralyze you—together, we’ll turn fear into fuel and find calm in the chaos. This episode is your reminder that you’re stronger than you think, and you’re not alone on this journey.

Take a deep breath. You’ve got this. 💕

Hello Everyone!

We all have those moments where life feels a little scattered and we know we need to pull it together. But what does that really mean, and how do we make it happen?

In this episode, we dive into the top 3 key habits that can help you get back on track and aligned with your goals—whether in the studio or in life. We’re talking discipline, clarity, and self-compassion—because pulling it together doesn’t mean being perfect, it means taking control and showing up for yourself each day.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or like you’re not reaching your full potential, this episode is for you! Let’s get real about what it takes to stay focused, push through self-doubt, and finally get ahead.

Tune in to find out how to stop just saying "pull it together" and actually start doing it!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back to another episode with myself Isabella and our regular guest Suvi, my Vaganova partner in crime. Suvi ws at Vaganova around the same time as me and then went on to have a successful career at Finnish National ballet. Like a lot of us including me, Suvi has had a lot of ups and downs. We bring her on the podcast regularly for more of a conversational dialogue and hearing her insights.

Today we are sharing with you all, our journey with auditions. The good and the bad. There are many factors at play when it comes to auditions. Do I do a public audition? A private one? How do I cope the the audition itself? What if I don't get in? How do I cope with rejection.

I am so excited to discuss with you all!

Hello Everyone,

Today we will be talking about nerves as an artist. How to cope and deal with this as an artist who is under high pressure.

We will be focusing this episode on Janet Baker who was a renowned opera singer of the 20th century.

She was an amazing Soprano considered one of the greatest Opera Singers. Her problem was she had crippling stage freight. As a dancer, I found this inspiring, even the greats struggle with fear!

I thought this would help many of you to talk about in your own unique pursuit.

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 :-)

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to this episode! This is a much-asked question I get. Should we push? Or should we rest?

As dancers, we are hard-wired to push, seeing rest as a weakness. This is far from the truth, and this episode is all about helping you road map your days and weeks understanding when to push, or when to go easier for the sake of consistency and a lasting career.

I am super excited for us to speak with Joy Womack. I really resonated with joy as we had similar dreams, and similar goals of learning in Russia. Joy is an extremely determined and ambitious woman.

Today I have the high honour of speaking with Miko Fogarty who has achieved so much in her life!  

Born in London, Miko has received worldwide recognition for her dancing.  

She was awarded the Gold Medal at the Moscow International Ballet Competition (considered the Olympics of Ballet) in 2013 and was one of the six dancers featured in the documentary First Position.  Miko has taught masterclasses and danced in galas across the world.  

 In 2015, she joined the Birmingham Royal Ballet.   In 2016, she started teaching and in 2018, after an injury, she reevaluated her career and started studying pre-med at UC Berkeley where she is now becoming a foot and ankle surgeon and will no doubt help many future ballerinas!   

In her spare time she does coaching, masterclasses as well as a  lot of public speaking.   let’s meet Miko!  

 I hope you enjoy the interview!  Please like, follow and subscribe!

Hello Everyone!

In this episode of A Dancer’s Mindset, we’re diving into one of the most crucial aspects of your training—how to practice effectively and digest feedback in a way that truly transforms your dancing.

So many dancers go through the motions in class, but real progress comes from training with intention. I’ll break down:

✅ The difference between mindless repetition and smart practice
✅ How to truly absorb corrections instead of just hearing them and feeling bad about them
✅ Why feedback, no matter how tough, is your greatest tool for success
✅ How to be the kind of student teachers love to work with
✅ Shifting your perspective on feedback, reframing critiques as opportunities, not criticism

Practicing without purpose leads to slow progress. But when you learn how to train efficiently, apply feedback correctly, and develop a growth mindset, you’ll start seeing real, measurable improvements.

Get ready to level up your practice habits, become a better student, and make every class count! 🎧✨

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.

We are joined by Suvi my Vaganova buddy again in this episode. let's discuss!

Hello Everyone!

Today we are going to be talking about performing without purpose. What does that look like? How do we stay motivated?

Turns out this could be one of the most useful skills you could ever have. This is why when athletes retire, or win the Olympics, something which is SO goal orientated, can trip them up. They end up depressed and lose site of who they are.

This is a skill that will teach your resilience, mental strength and self motivation!
