Hi! 👋 Nicole + Katrena here…
Can we let you in on a little secret?
It’s not your fault. And you’re not a bad teacher.
Dancers are flooded with body messages- from mirrors, corrections, auditions, and social media. Without guidance, these messages often spiral into comparison, self-criticism, and negativity - which makes its way into your dance classes, ruining your vibe, AND dancer’s relationship with their bodies… the very vessel that allows their dancing to come to life!
We know this, because not too long ago… WE WERE THOSE DANCERS.
Introducing: Love Your Body! Or Don’t.
A 5-Day, Science Backed Toolkit that rewires how dancers think, feel, and participate in your classes.
What’s Inside the Toolkit:
Day #1: The Life Changing Magic of Tapping
Meet your instructors with a brief intro video 👋
What’s the point of tapping? 👆
What are its benefits? 💡

Day #2: Love Your Body… Or Don’t!
Using the conversation cards provided, talk about why loving your body isn’t as easy as it sounds, and discover alternatives that take the pressure off. 💪
Dancers use reflection prompts to think about their experiences, and goals. This can be done on their own, or in dance class. ✍🏽
Day #3: Worksheets + More Tapping
Worksheets encourage dancers to identify non respectful self talk. 💬
Journal prompts to support growth mindset, and replacing critical thoughts with more neutral, helpful thinking. 🥰
