| 27 - Three Quick Tips for Providing Encouraging Feedback to Dancers | 10 sept. 2026 | 00:06:21 | |
The words we choose as dance educators matter. In this episode, we're exploring how to give feedback that is specific, encouraging, and helps students grow with confidence. We'll discuss why dance's subjective nature requires us to be mindful of unconscious bias, how our intentions may not always match how feedback is received, and why future-focused language can inspire students to keep learning. I'll also share a personal story about body-related feedback that stayed with me for years, and how thoughtful, movement-based cues can be far more effective. Giving meaningful feedback is a skill we continue to develop, and when we communicate with intention, we create an environment where dancers feel supported, capable, and motivated to grow!

| 26 - Building a Growth Mindset in Dancers | 03 sept. 2026 | 00:14:54 | |
How do we help dancers move beyond the "I can't" mindset? In this episode, we're exploring how to build a growth mindset by creating an environment where challenges, mistakes, and effort are all valued as part of the learning process. Drawing from my own teaching experience and insights from my Danscend Mental Wellness Certification training, I share four practical ways to help students develop resilience: embracing challenges, becoming curious about mistakes, celebrating effort, and modeling lifelong learning. When we pair high expectations with high support, we're not just building stronger dancers—we're helping students develop confidence and resilience that will serve them far beyond the studio.

| 25 - Imposter Syndrome: The Silent Disruptor in the Dance Space | 27 août 2026 | 00:11:38 | |
Have you ever felt like you don't deserve your accomplishments, even when you've worked incredibly hard for them? In this episode, we're talking about imposter syndrome—what it is, why so many dancers and dance educators experience it, and how perfectionism and negative self-talk can keep us from recognizing our own growth. Drawing from both research and personal experience, I share why our beliefs about ourselves often matter more than our achievements, and how we can begin to challenge the stories we tell ourselves. We'll explore practical ways to reframe negative thinking, use self-talk as a tool for growth, and create healthier learning environments for our students. Enjoy!

In this special guest interview, I sit down with fellow dance educator Alice Bruter to discuss the lessons that have shaped her teaching journey. From rediscovering dance after stepping away from it, to navigating the challenges of starting a teaching career, we explore the experiences that have influenced her approach in and out of the studio.

| 22 - Leading With Kind Authority As A Dance Educator | 06 août 2026 | 00:16:54 | |
In this episode, we're diving into what it really means to teach with kind authority. How do you create a classroom where students respect you, feel safe, and are inspired to grow—without relying on fear, harshness, or losing the professional boundaries that help everyone thrive? If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Am I being too strict?" or "Am I being too lenient?" you're not alone. Whether you're a brand-new dance teacher or have years of experience, finding the balance between warmth and leadership can be one of the most challenging parts of teaching. In this conversation, I share lessons I've learned throughout my own teaching journey, including how to:
We'll also talk about why discipline and empathy can coexist, how healthy boundaries create a positive studio culture, and why calm, confident leadership ultimately benefits both you and your students.

| 19 - Simple Ways to Make Every Student Feel Seen | 16 juil. 2026 | 00:19:12 | |
Every student wants to know they matter—and as dance teachers, we have more influence than we often realize. In this episode, I'm sharing simple, intentional ways to help every student feel seen, valued, and supported in your classroom.

| 16 - Using Strength Training Safely and Effectively in the Studio | 25 juin 2026 | 00:19:45 | |
Strength and conditioning is one of the most debated topics in the dance world—but how can dance teachers use it safely, effectively, and realistically within the studio setting? In this episode, I'm sharing my perspective on strength and conditioning for dancers, including why I believe both traditional strength training and dance-specific conditioning have a place in a dancer’s development. We’ll talk about the role of cross-training, and why effective conditioning isn’t about choosing between the gym and the studio—it’s about giving dancers the tools they need to become stronger, more resilient, and better prepared for the demands of their art form. I also dive into the reality that many dancers could benefit from more education around muscular strength, posture, alignment, and injury prevention—and how dance teachers can help support that growth within their scope of practice. In this episode, you'll learn: Plus, I share three practical strategies for incorporating conditioning into your classes without overwhelming yourself or your students:

Growth doesn't require another certification or degree—it often starts with small, consistent steps that lead to meaningful change over time. In this episode, you'll learn: Because evolving isn't about becoming a completely different teacher—it's about becoming a more intentional version of the teacher you already are. Enjoy!

| 12 - Performance Quality and The Social Media Trap | 28 mai 2026 | 00:33:57 | |
In today’s two-part episode, we’re diving into a discussion on teaching performance quality, as well as the dangers of social media in dance education. Can artistry actually be taught? What’s the difference between performance quality and artistic voice? And why am I comparing all of this to cake? Do you feel fatigued from doom-scrolling? All of this will be discussed in today's packed episode. We explore how dancers connect emotionally and artistically to movement through storytelling, imagery, dynamics, and intention. From creative movement classes to adolescent dancers, this conversation unpacks how teachers can help students develop emotional texture in their dancing while still honoring the individuality that makes each performer unique. Plus, we touch on the growing impact of social media and comparison culture in dance education, and how overwhelm can affect both teachers and students. Topics covered: | |||
| 11 - Balancing High Standards with Compassionate Teaching (ft. Emma) | 21 mai 2026 | 00:35:26 | |
In this podcast episode, I invited on my dear friend and coworker Emma Lochner. In this thoughtful and honest conversation, we explore one of the most important topics in dance education today: how to create classrooms that are both supportive and structured. For many dancers, training environments rooted in fear, shame, or harsh criticism were once considered “normal” in the pursuit of excellence. While the dance world continues evolving toward healthier teaching practices, many educators are also navigating the challenge of maintaining discipline, accountability, and high standards without becoming overly passive. In this episode, we discuss what it truly means to lead with both compassion and authority. We reflect on personal experiences with harmful teaching moments that stayed with us, how those experiences shaped our own teaching philosophies, and the ongoing work of building studio cultures rooted in respect, consistency, and trust. | |||
| 10 - Intentional Lesson Planning for the Busy Dance Teacher | 14 mai 2026 | 00:23:24 | |
Lesson planning doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. In this episode of The Resilient Dance Teacher, we’re talking about how to create intentional, effective dance classes without overcomplicating the process or burning yourself out. Whether you’re teaching ongoing weekly classes, semester-based programs, workshops, or drop-in classes, this episode breaks down practical strategies to help you plan with more clarity and purpose. You’ll learn:
We also discuss how to let your authentic teaching voice shine through while building classes that feel purposeful, supportive, and sustainable for both you and your students. Plus, we reference Episode 9 for warm-up planning and preparation strategies. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to constantly create brand-new material every week, this episode will help you simplify your planning process while still delivering meaningful, high-quality dance education.

| 09 - Smarter Warm-Ups: Engaging Your Dancers from the Start | 07 mai 2026 | 00:27:51 | |
In this episode we'll discuss why warm-ups matter more than we sometimes give them credit for—from building heat and mobilizing joints to preventing injury, activating key muscles, and mentally centering dancers for the work ahead. Because a warm-up isn’t just a routine—it’s preparation for performance. I also get real about what warm-ups aren’t (hint: they shouldn’t be boring, mindless, or just a box to check), and introduce the structured framework I’ve been using: the H.I.P.-C.D. Method. This approach helps you create warm-ups that are purposeful, progressive, and actually support your dancers’ needs. And yes—we’re talking about how to make it fun. Because when dancers are engaged, everything works better. Think music, creativity, and bringing artistry into the room from the very start. We’ll also touch on the power of repetition and why keeping some consistency in your warm-ups can actually deepen focus and improve performance over time. If you’re a dance teacher who’s ready to move beyond “just getting through it” and start using warm-ups as a powerful teaching tool, this episode is for you. As you listen, consider this: If this episode resonates, try out the H.I.P.-C.D. method in your next class, and don’t forget to grab my Dancer Warm-Up Guide linked in the show notes.

| 08 - Confidently Teaching Life Skills Through Dance | 30 avr. 2026 | 00:19:56 | |
Being a dance teacher is about so much more than teaching steps—it’s about shaping people. In this episode, we dive into one of the most complex and meaningful parts of the role: understanding the responsibility that comes with guiding students not just in technique, but in growth, resilience, and self-awareness. We explore research-backed insights on the benefits of dance within structured environments, highlighting how elements like physical exertion, teamwork, mentorship, and shared purpose naturally foster physical health, emotional well-being, cognitive development, and social connection—even before technical mastery enters the picture. From there, we unpack the concept of resilience and how educators play a key role in building it. What does it really mean to create a “facilitative environment”? Think high challenge paired with high support—and the powerful impact that balance can have on a dancer’s development. Of course, dance teachers are constantly juggling multiple priorities: technique, creativity, emotional growth, and life skills that extend far beyond the studio. It’s a lot. So we take a moment to reframe the pressure—because while the responsibility is real, it’s also a privilege. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, this episode offers a reminder: that feeling often comes from a place of deep care—and that care is part of what makes you effective. We also get practical, discussing how to support both your students and yourself through clear boundaries, expectations, and accountability. From setting the tone on day one to modeling professionalism and creating space for honest communication, we break down actionable strategies you can start using right away. Because great teaching isn’t just about what you give—it’s also about how you sustain yourself while doing it. Let’s get into it.

| 07 - Tips for Balancing Technique and Creativity in the Studio | 23 avr. 2026 | 00:21:39 | |
In this episode, we’re diving into the art of balancing technique with creativity in the dance classroom. While strong technique provides structure, growth, and consistency, it’s only one part of the equation. Dance is a performing art, and without creativity, expression, and connection, we’re missing what truly brings it to life. We explore why creativity isn’t just an “extra,” but an essential component of dance education—supporting cognitive, emotional, and social development. You’ll hear practical, easy-to-implement strategies for keeping students engaged while still building technical skills, including improvisation prompts, partner work, and intentional lesson planning.

| 06 - Dancer to Educator: Making the Mindset Shift | 16 avr. 2026 | 00:19:53 | |
In this episode, we explore the powerful (and often overlooked) shift from simply doing movement to truly understanding and teaching it. Sparked by a real moment in class—when a student asked, “How do I stop my momentum in a turn?”—this conversation dives into the thinking and problem-solving that defines great teaching. From there, we zoom out to reflect on a bigger idea: knowledge alone doesn’t make someone a great teacher. The ability to communicate, adapt, and meet students where they are is what truly creates impact. We’ll also explore:
Featuring the timeless insight from Benjamin Franklin—“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”—this episode invites you to rethink how you approach both learning and teaching.

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most powerful (and often overlooked) teaching tools: imagery and intentional cueing. Have you ever sat in a class where the instructions felt vague or confusing? As teachers, it’s easy to assume we’re being clear—but are our students truly understanding what we’re asking of them? Today, we explore how refining your cues can transform not only student comprehension, but also your efficiency and impact as an instructor. I’ll share my own journey from early group fitness and personal training through formal dance education, and how that shaped my approach to cueing with more clarity and intention. Then, we break it down into practical steps you can start using immediately:
