Every couple of years we have moments of clarity ✨

The last couple of years haven’t left space for that - they’ve been about getting through each day and helping you guys, my dancers, to do the same thing.

2022 has given me a little window of possibility to reflect, to breathe and to listen. And to read. Actual books. How good is reading?! 🙌

One of the books I recently devoured - and I bet I’m not alone here - is Stolen Focus, by Johann Hari.

It blew me away. It gave me a new perspective. And it gave me resolve to change the way I’m doing things - in order to preserve myself so that I can be in the best position to help others.

Using social media is a pretty important marketing tool for many businesses - mine included. It connects you with people, allows you to share information about who you are and what you do, and helps to create a community.

But it costs.

It attaches you to a hamster wheel of likes, comments and followers, and asks you to pour your heart and soul into filling a feed, lip syncing a reel and integrating with an ever-changing algorithm.

And - simply put - I no longer have the capacity for that. Mentally, emotionally or strategically.

And so, I’ll be heading off socials, at least for the time being, to fall directly into the work that gives me meaning, and has the biggest impact on the people I work with. I still here 👋 - I’m just not here 📍

Please reach out via my website (link in bio) to get in touch, or directly through the Tanya Pearson Academy if you’re a student there.

Cheers to finding- and embracing- focus 😊

Much love Alice x

Feeling overwhelmed?! ME TOO.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Photos show the tip of the iceberg - right? This moment looks like a chill scroll of Instagram in the sun... It's not.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's a flurry of:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️scheduling sessions
✔️worrying about whether I've sent a client the right worksheet
✔️booking swimming lessons for my son using google translate because my German still needs work (reminder: do German homework)
✔️checking whether a school has clarified a masterclass for tomorrow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All at once. NOT CHILL. Overwhelm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As dancers, overwhelm can creep up on us all too easily. Especially now, while the uncertainty drags on - it can all just start to feel like too much.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In session with a client this morning, we talked about what overwhelm in your graduate year of training looks like - and, importantly, what we can do to manage it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clarification, transformation to tasks and list building are essential to help you feel like you've got all of the little pieces of the puzzle in order.

Swipe through 👆 for a quick overview - and when in doubt, get things out of your head and onto paper.

Happy Monday! x

Got my professional pants on 👖

The picture we see isn’t always complete… right?! In fact, it’s mostly not complete. Because social media is not real life- and as dancers, it’s crucial we keep that in mind.

This is my standard work outfit. Shirt visible on Zoom, leggings not. My approach to my work is similar- bring what is relevant and helpful for my clients, leave the rest off camera.

As 2022 has gotten underway there has been a lot of behind-the-camera work happening here at enpointe consulting. Moving into a space where I’m working directly with schools is both exciting and overwhelming. It allows for more of the work I love- helping young dancers thrive in the challenges that elite training throws up on the daily. But it also requires more of the work that is less fun- scheduling, planning and admin.

It’s like class vs. performance. You do class for a reason- performance. It’s not all fun, it’s not all easy, but ultimately it’s rewarding as hell.

If the pandemic has taught me nothing else, it’s that leggings ARE pants 😜

Is anyone else only just realising it's 2022?

🙋 yep, me.

In the spirit of moving on from the old and bringing on the new, I hope you've had a relaxing holiday period, (however that looks for you) and that you're ready to move into 2022 with renewed energy. I sure am 🙌

If you're new here, I'm Alice, former professional ballerina turned wellbeing consultant for dancers. What does that even mean? Great question.

It means that I work specifically with ballet schools and companies to improve the way their dancers feel about themselves, their work and their future.

In 2022, I'm super excited to be changing up the structure of my work a little. I'm thrilled to be partnering up with @tanya_pearson_academy in Sydney, Australia, as their in-house wellbeing consultant and student counsellor. Teaming up with such a talented group of staff and students to build a strong and cohesive support system is a great honour, and I'm delighted to be leading this work 💛

With this shift in mind, I'm gradually moving towards a model of working directly with schools and companies to improve their student and dancer wellbeing, rather than focusing only on working with dancers 1:1.

So - what do these changes mean for you?

Well - if you're a dancer or parent of a dancer and you want to access 1:1 coaching, get in quickly! I will hold space in my schedule for up to five individual dancers at a time, so if you're looking to 2022 without much of a plan, pop into the link in my bio to schedule a free 20 minute chat about your options.

If you're a teacher or school director and you want to discuss options for working together on the wellbeing program for your school - you're in the perfect place - send me a DM!

Looking forward to working with you x

As we all unwind into a post Christmas haze and look toward the new year I wanted to share one more blog post up on the enpointe blog that tackles drawing energy from outside the ballet world. 🩰🌏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you’re taking a break over New Years now is the perfect time to try something new, spend time with family and friends, spend time outdoors, practise a new skill you’ve been wanting to try. 🍃🎨🎺⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I promise, your dancing will be reenergised for the better because of it 🥰.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
