This week I'm sitting down with Kirsten Kemp, high-performance mindset coach and founder of The Confident Dancer, to talk about the mental side of performance that almost no one in the dance world is actually teaching. Kirsten breaks down the difference between a high-standards environment and a toxic one, why \"just be confident\" is the most useless advice you can give a dancer, and what confidence actually means, because it's not what most of us think. We also get into why your mind has a reason for everything it does, and why the first step to changing it is curiosity, not criticism. If you've ever been told to work on your confidence and had absolutely no idea what to do with that, this one's for you.
