Today we have Kirsten back on to talk about mindset coaching from a Biblical perspective, how it can be beneficial for dancers, red flags to look for when choosing a mindset coach and how it can lead us closer to Jesus.

You may know her from her YouTube channel, TwinTalksBallet, Kirsten Kemp trained at the Houston Ballet Academy, got her degree from the University of Utah, danced with Oklahoma City Ballet, and is now a mindset coach for dancers. She loves Jesus and I think you'll be encouraged by her story.

Today we're talking about zoom and virtual auditions! Sarah Hillmer, former ballet mistress with a major company and founder of ImmerseATL shares what directors are looking for in video submissions. And we talk a little bit about what to do if your dream program says "no".

Audition season is upon us! Whether you are looking for a summer intensive or next season's contract, here are a few things I wish I had known for in person auditions.

Leslie Shivers is a dear friend of mine who danced with Ballet Magnificat for 12 years. We talk about tour life, ballerina math, holding dance with open hands, and using dance to share the gospel. Be encouraged!

Jane Kerley talks about growing up in a Christian studio, how she stumbled upon a professional career, and what it's like to help your spouse understand the dance world.

I share my journey so far and how God has used dance to draw me closer to Him.

Discussion questions:
--What part of Rebekah's story did you relate to the most?
--Has there been a time in your life that Jesus became "real" to you?
--Is there anything in life that would make you question your existence and purpose if it was taken away?
--What do you think you want that you might not really want?
--How might you be operating under "if...then" presumptions in regards to God's calling on your life? Is there an area you need to hold more loosely?

This episode was actually recorded a year ago but being that we just collaborated for a virtual workshop, I thought y'all might want to hear from Robyn. :-)
