Ep. 78 - Stop Waiting to Be "Good Enough" and Enjoy Ballet Now: Here's How!
Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough yet to really enjoy ballet class? You’re not alone — many adult dancers carry the belief that joy in ballet has to be earned through progress, achievement, or “getting good." In this episode, we’re digging into the psychology behind that mindset and exploring why joy isn’t just a reward at the end of the journey, but a powerful tool for growth.
You’ll learn practical ways to reclaim joy in your dancing right now, whether you’re brand new to ballet or returning after years away. Plus, we’ll talk about why your joy doesn’t just benefit you — it’s also a gift to your classmates, your teachers, and the ballet world as a whole.
Because here’s the truth: you don’t have to earn the right to love ballet. You already belong, and your joy matters. So grab your coffee and let's get into it!
