In this episode, Abbe dives deep into what truly shaped one of the biggest growth years at Dynamite Studios not talent, not luck, but work ethic, consistency, discipline and intentional training. Fresh off the graduation shows, she unpacks the mindset shifts, culture shocks, class etiquette, quiet improvement, and the strategic approach required to turn big dreams into real, professional outcomes. Whether you’re a student, parent, or emerging artist with massive goals, this episode is your reminder: talent gets you noticed, but work ethic keeps you in the room.
These days, everyone has an opinion, but not everyone takes the time to understand the full picture. In this episode, Abbe dives into the difference between giving feedback that helps and criticism that hurts. She unpacks how to lead with empathy, respond instead of react, and create a culture built on grace, honesty, and understanding.
In this episode of Backstage Pass, Abbe dives into the power of celebration and what it really means to lift others as you climb. She unpacks how celebrating someone else’s success can fuel your own growth, why genuine support is magnetic, and how using your wins to uplift others creates lasting impact. Because real success isn’t just about what you achieve it’s about what you share. ✨ Celebrate others. Pay it forward. Keep the energy generous.
Abbe dives into why being coachable is the secret to long-term success — staying open, curious, and ready to grow no matter where you are in your journey.
Abbe shares the rituals, mantras, and positive practices that bring the Dynamite community together on stage, in the studio, and beyond.
This week, Abbe shares what really goes into Dynamite’s $250,000+ scholarship program — who it’s for, how it’s funded, and why gratitude matters. Plus, a look behind the scenes at recent comps, visiting choreographers, and the powerful rituals that ground Dynamite dancers before they hit the stage.
In this episode, we explore what it really takes to keep all the balls in the air when life and the industry hit peak season. From balancing energy and managing time, to setting systems, protecting breathing space, and choosing priorities over perfection, it’s a real look at how to stay grounded when everything is moving at once. Whether you’re heading into competitions, travel, or just a packed calendar, this is your reminder that it’s not about doing it all perfectly — it’s about keeping what matters most in focus, and picking things back up when they fall.
In this empowering episode, Abbe Bradbury challenges the idea that success in the performing arts has to follow a set formula. Drawing on real stories from students — both of whom took bold, unconventional steps in their careers — Abbe unpacks the pressure of comparison and the fear of straying from the “expected” path. Whether you're navigating early career decisions, considering unexpected opportunities, or redefining what success means to you, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that there’s no one right way — only your way.
Today’s episode is going to be a little different. I’m going to be talking about some of the biggest business fails. The ones that cost me time, money, tears, and my sanity. We’re talking missing invoices, $100,000 worth of undelivered costumes, missed opportunities, and all the ‘oh no’ moments that you think only happen to other people and the lessons that came out of them.
In this episode, Abbe Bradbury dives deep into the dos and don'ts of business in the performing arts world. From contracts to culture, she unpacks the red flags to avoid—and the green flags to chase—whether you’re a studio owner, student, or professional performer. With real talk, industry insight, and a few personal stories, Abbe shares what to look out for before signing on the dotted line. If you're navigating opportunities and want to protect your passion and your peace, this one’s a must-listen.
In this real and raw episode, Abbe Bradbury dives into the importance of filtering the advice you receive - and who you’re actually receiving it from.

Whether you're chasing big dreams or navigating everyday challenges, this episode is your reminder to stay grounded, stay focused, and choose your influences wisely.
Your mindset can make or break your journey as a performer. In this episode, Abbe Bradbury dives deep into the power of a positive mindset—how to manage stress and anxiety, genuinely celebrate others' success, and understand why rest is just as important as rehearsal. Whether you're on stage or behind the scenes, these strategies will help you build resilience, confidence, and longevity in your career.
Long rehearsals, tough critiques, and the pressure to constantly improve - it’s easy to fall into a cycle of frustration. But where energy goes, energy grows. In this episode of The Backstage Pass Podcast, Abbe Bradbury dives into the power of presence, gratitude, and reframing negativity as a performer. Whether you’re battling self-doubt, comparing yourself to others, or feeling stuck, we’ll share practical tools to shift your mindset and elevate your artistry.
