In this week’s episode of The Dancing Housewife Podcast, we kick off a brand-new feature: Mailbag Monday, where listener-submitted questions take center stage.

Today’s episode dives into the complex dynamics of Pro-Am dance partnerships—specifically, what good coaching actually looks like and how to navigate situations where an instructor’s behavior leaves you feeling confused, anxious, or unsure of yourself. We talk candidly about communication, boundaries, and when it may be time to reevaluate a coaching relationship in order to protect both your confidence and your love of dancing.

We also tackle a much more practical (and very relatable) question: how to stay warm in freezing-cold ballrooms during competitions. From between-heat strategies to cozy competition-day essentials, you’ll get actionable tips to help you stay comfortable without sacrificing performance.

If you want practical guidance, grounded perspective, and permission to advocate for yourself—this episode is for you.
