Description

In this episode, we tackle a common fear dancers have during summer break: “What if I’m already out of shape?” Whether your layoff just started or you’re a few weeks in, that creeping worry can feel loud—and discouraging. I’ll walk you through how to shift your mindset around summer downtime, why this break might actually support your dancing long-term, and how to approach movement and fueling without pressure or panic.

If you’ve been beating yourself up for not doing “enough,” this episode will help you quiet that inner critic, focus on sustainable progress, and step into your return to class with confidence.
