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! 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!

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.

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.

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!
