Team Talk Odette! #148 - It's Now or Never
February 25, 2014
Hello

If you want to be the one chosen for ballet performances, then there is one key aspect to work on that's not to do with your technique.

It is your confidence to perform.

No matter if you feel insecure about your dancing or fearful of a certain step, there is more to ballet than just your technical ability.

Ballet dancers are not just robots, they are true artists.

In the next few ballet classes, I want you to apply a different thought to each one. You could think about having a dramatic personality, a strong presence or the quality in your port de bras.

You can look at the famous ballerinas here to inspire you -

Nearly every dancer has struggled with their confidence at some point, including me, but there are tips and techniques to overcome this.

This is why I created a special eBook section just on Mentality to pass my experiences onto you -

If you wait, nothing will change.

Best wishes,

Odette
