    Passion for Dance

    You train extensively as a dancer, but what about mental training? Have you ever trained your mental skills like confidence, focus, or resilience? When you tune in to Passion for Dance, that mental training is precisely what you get. You can learn from a sport psychology expert who understands the dance industry and can teach you how to elevate your performance and truly thrive on and off stage.

    Welcome to Passion for Dance, where your host, Dr. Chelsea, will bring the science of sport psychology into the dance studio. Each week, you will learn actionable strategies and new mindsets to build happier, more successful dancers.

    Dance teaches us to push through the pain to reach our goals, and we are used to criticism, tears, bleeding toes, and sore muscles. But now, psychological research has taught us more about mental health and resilience than ever before, and it’s time to change our industry for the better. Being a dancer teaches us critical life skills, but that doesn’t mean we have to suffer before we can build ourselves back up. Dance can teach us self-discipline, teamwork, confidence, grit, and resilience without destroying our self-esteem.

    The path to personal growth is full of joy, self-discovery, and challenging roadblocks, but we don’t have to figure it out alone. This podcast is for all of us to connect, learn, and share our passion for dance with the world.

    39. Is Your Passion Making You Better or Weighing You Down? Nov 11, 2021
    Show notes

    I feel like in the dance industry we use the word passion to mean your performance on the floor, to be believable, and truly go for it. But honestly, it's a lot more than that.

    If you have a passion for dance, I have some important news for you to consider: your passion for dance may be hurting you. In this episode, I share some of the psychological research on passion to highlight the fact that there are two different types of passion: harmonious passion and obsessive passion. I've bet you've seen both types of passion in the dancers you work with, and maybe even in yourself, and understanding the difference can go a long way to ensure a career filled with joy.

    38. The Shame of Failing at Work-Life Balance Nov 04, 2021
    Show notes

    Work-life balance is a myth, and I have some thoughts on the idea that I want to share with you today. There are so many self-help books and podcasts, and influencers out there telling you how to balance in work and life so that you never feel overwhelmed or guilty. I argue that true balance is impossible.

    But not because it's impossible to balance, but because I don't believe your life and your work should be in opposition to each other. The phrase "work-life balance" implies these two things are sitting on opposite sides of a scale. And in order to be happy, you have to figure out how to keep these two things balanced every minute of every day. When the scales slightly tip one way or the other, you feel guilt, shame, and a sense of failure. In this episode, I talk about the harm of that myth and what you can do about it.

    37. Why Don't Some Dancers Take Accountability for Their Bad Choices? Oct 21, 2021
    Show notes

    If you've ever experienced a rehearsal where dancers aren't giving full effort, there's eye-rolling or disrespect, it's incredibly frustrating and it could be a sign the dancers lack accountability. Accountability is when you do what you say you're going to do to the best of your ability. Accountability doesn't mean perfect or without mistakes, but if you promised you'd do something, you do it. And it's more than being accountable to the coach or teacher in the room. We don't want a group of dancers who only do what they're told when someone is watching. We want them to do the right thing even if no one sees them. We want a group of dancers where everyone is accountable for themselves AND accountable to each other.

    36. The Upside of a Dancer's Stress Oct 14, 2021
    Show notes

    Let's talk about stress. Stress is something we all deal with, but today I want to share something with you that you might not have heard before… science has actually taught us that stress can be good for us! I know that sounds crazy but stick with me for this episode and I'll tell you all about it. Also, this episode is a little different... I'm going to speak directly to the dancers. Now dance teachers and coaches out there this is will certainly still be helpful for you, but I've had some requests recently to cover this topic in a way you could simply share with your dancers. So, this is that episode! Listen in, and then feel free to share with your dancers. This is my take on the upside of a dancer's stress.

    35. How to Win Without Losing Your Soul with Chasta Hamilton Oct 07, 2021
    Show notes

    Do you feel like competing is an important part of your dance life? What would it look like if your dancers didn't compete? My guest today is Chasta Hamilton. She is the author of Trash The Trophies: How To Win Without Losing Your Soul, and the owner and artistic director of Stage Door Dance Productions. Chasta is reinventing the dance education model by focusing on character development and community involvement over the traditional competitive approach. Chasta and I agree that dance is a wonderful mechanism for teaching our dancers important life lessons, and I bet many of you agree with that too, but Chasta's perspective on how dance teaches those life lessons is pretty unique.

    There are affiliate links below, which means I get a small commission if you follow the link to purchase Chasta's book. It's no additional cost to you, and supports both of us!

    34. How to Start Journaling with Your Dancers Sep 30, 2021
    Show notes

    Journaling has so many benefits for dancers including reducing stress, noticing progress to boost motivation, organizing your thoughts, improving confidence, and growing as a dancer and person. I often talk about the lessons I've learned after years of teaching and coaching and in this episode, I want to talk about one of those lessons, in the hope that you choose to integrate some of this strategy into your time with your dancers a whole lot sooner in your career than I did. If I had known then what I know now, I would have introduced my dancers to journaling right away.

    In this episode, I'll cover the benefits of journaling, what to expect, setting some ground rules, and how to get started.

    33. Why You Shouldn't Tell Tour Dancers to "Leave it at the Door" with Ali Phillips Sep 23, 2021
    Show notes

    Have you ever told your dancers to "leave it at the door?" I know I used that phrase a lot and it's because I wanted dancers to come into class with a positive mindset and let go of any drama or challenges that might get in the way. But in this episode, we're going to challenge that idea because maybe telling your dancers to leave it at the door is doing them a disservice.

    My guest today is Ali Phillips, an Embodied Leadership Coach and she really opened my eyes to a new perspective. Ali owns Bust a Move Dance which is a dance company for children, teens, and adults with disabilities. We discuss our egos as dance teachers, developing a teaching philosophy, and trusting ourselves as young professionals by tapping into our bodies for the answers.

    32. Why Do I Always Focus on the Negative Side of Things? Sep 16, 2021
    Show notes

    Why do we take a good performance for granted and seem to spend way too much time thinking about mistakes and performances we regret? Why do we naturally tend to docs on the bad side of things? Well, today I'm going to talk about how your brain processes information in a way that makes it so easy to hold onto the negative experiences and harder to focus on the good things. But the more we can learn how to intentionally spend more time on the good things in our dance life, the more resilient we become to the hard times. In this episode, we'll cover why our brains naturally focus on the negative and what we can do about it.

    31. Thinking about High School Dance Team Alternates? 5 different perspectives Sep 09, 2021
    Show notes

    This episode comes straight from all of you, I've had many people ask me to talk about having alternates on the team. It's a tricky situation, mentally and logistically but I didn't feel like I could talk about this topic on my own. Instead, I interviewed 5 successful high school coaches to get their insights and perspectives on using alternates in their programs. As I hoped and expected, there are some themes running through the interviews, but also some unique ideas and different approaches.

    Here are some highlights:

    [1m 58s] Kevin Mathis, Lake Central High School, Indiana

    [12m 22s] Ta Fett, formerly Frazee High School, Minnesota

    [23m 30s] Jennifer Cryder, Joliet West High School, Illinois

    [38m 17s] Renee Buchholz, DC Everest, Wisconsin

    [52m 46s] Jana Blue, formerly Denver East High School, Colorado

    30. How to T.A.R.G.E.T. Your Dancers' Motivation Sep 02, 2021
    Show notes

    In my opinion as a sport psychology consultant, a positive motivational climate is the holy grail of teaching and coaching. Every class you attend has a climate… a feeling… a sense of energy in the room. Your job as a dance educator is to make sure that every day practice climate is one that fosters hard work, self-discipline, fun, and progress.

    So how do we achieve this ideal positive motivational climate?! One of the research-based ways to increase intrinsic motivation comes in six steps, and many sport psychology consultants use the acronym T.A.R.G.E.T. to remember all of the areas you can use to improve your team's motivational climate. In this episode, I'll walk you through these six strategies so you can apply them to your work as a dance educator and enjoy more self-motivated dancers. This episode is one you'll want to reference in the future so take notes, or go to https://chelseapierotti.com/30 to download the cheat sheet that goes with it!
