The Nourished Dancer's New Year Virtual Mini-Retreat *
A cozy, grounding, “actually feels good to my nervous system” 90-minute reset for dancers stepping into 2026 with clarity, intention, and confidence.
Step into 2026 fully ALIGNED!
…so that reaching your dance intentions in 2026 feels as natural as walking into the studio and placing your left hand on the barre.
Saturday, January 17th. 12pm EST. Cozy Zoom Room.
Alright, Beautiful!
You’ve made it through another year of dancing, hustling, stressing, overthinking, performing, juggling 900 schedules…
…and trying your absolute best not to lose it when the person at the front of the studio says, “one more time.”
So, if you’re entering 2026 feeling a mix of:
Tired Brain
Tense Shoulders
Scattered Mind
Big Dreams, and…
…and absolutely NO IDEA how to make positive change without just burning out again!
…YOU are exactly who ALIGNED was created for!
Hello, Welcome,
The Vibes
*
The Vibes *
Soft.
Grounded.
Science-Backed.
Supportive.
Inspiring.
Absolutely Zero Pressure.
Oh yes, 2026 is the year you freshen up your approach and actually let all the opportunities in!
Aligned is for YOU if you’re a dancer who…
✨ …doesn’t vibe with hype-y, “new year, new you”, standard “bro-energy” goal-setting workshops
✨ …prefers a warm, supportive space where your nervous system actually gets to exhale and your dreams finally get to make sense
✨ …is ready to stop letting stress, overwhelm, and insecurity call the shots in your dance life
✨ …wants to break patterns you noticed in 2025, instead of just rinse and repeat energy
✨ …is ready to prioritize your well-being as much as you do your technique
✨ …knows it’s time to treat your dance career like the sacred, powerful thing it is
Basically, if you want your 2026 to feel equal parts magical and manageable…
(hello manifesting energy!)
THIS is for you!
Hi Beautiful!I’m Nicole Sabella, and I’ll be guiding Aligned…
I’m a former decade-long pro dancer with the Mark Morris Dance Group, dedicated dance educator, certified holistic wellness and mindset coach for dancers, and speaker.
In short, I help dancers (like you!) get out of your head and into your heart. Then, into alignment with what you *actually* want… because when your mindset and energy match your goals, your success unfolds with much more ease. I’ve seen it again and again!
If you’ve ever thought, “I wish someone would just help me calm down and make sense of my goals,” hi… that’s literally what this event is all about.
What’s on the Agenda?
-
Ease in gently, get cozy, drop into your heart, and get centered. Maybe take the deep breath you didn’t know you needed.
-
Mini-talk on why dancers burn out so often, the key difference between goals vs. intentions, and how to make your ambitions actually work for your schedule, resources, and energy.
-
A supportive, calming tap-through to let go of any stress, overwhelm, confusion and leftover “shoulds” from 2025. Start 2026 with a clean slate, so that your intentions have a safe space to land.
-
Dancer aligned and targeted prompts to clarify exactly what your heart want, why it matters, and how you actually want to feel as you move toward it.
-
Grounded, empowering guided visualization to connect with the dancer you’re becoming — aligned, confident, clear, and fully in your rhythm. Bring your intentions to life.
-
A gentle path and a clear roadmap if you want deeper support. (No glitter required.)
-
Walk away with a calm mind, grateful heart, and excited body— anticipating your most aligned and successful dance year ahead.
Why This Mini-Retreat Works
Imagine sinking into your body and finally letting your shoulders drop, your mind slow, and the “I should be further along” chatter fade. Aligned gives you that space, so your nervous system can exhale and your energy can actually match your intentions.
You’ll set goals that feel doable, tap into mind-body practices that make change stick, and leave feeling steadier, clearer, and unstoppable… ready to move through 2026 with confidence, flow, and purpose.
By the End of Aligned 2026 you will have…
✨ …a clearer, calmer mind
✨ …one or more powerful intentions that actually match your energy and reality
✨ …released whatever energy you don’t want to carry into the new year
✨ …a grounded roadmap of the dancer you’re becoming
✨ …an energetic reset that makes 2026 feel not only doable, but full-body-chills exciting!

"During our time together, Nicole provided the support to set clear intentions for myself… to choreograph professionally. Within a month I had received a commission to create my very first evening-length work, 'A Soldier's Tale.' Not only did I open myself up to new possibilities, I gained the confidence and strength to see that I was worthy of these new opportunities!"
