the step-by-step mental performance training program that turns serious dancers into exquisitely confident artists!

Champion Mindset Academy™ for Dancers

How would your dancer feel if she knew EXACTLY how to perform her best (even in high pressure environments), nail her auditions, overcome nerves, change her view of perfectionism, build her confidence & belief in herself, and accomplish her goals??

Does This Sound Familiar??

Maybe your dancer...

  • Is riddled with nerves when it’s performance or competition time

  • Performs beautifully in class, but doesn’t perform to her full ability in auditions

  • Has built limiting beliefs within herself (such as “I'm just not a turner” for example)

  • Freezes at the mention of improv

  • Is a perfectionist and one of the most self-critical people you know

  • Has really big goals, but isn’t sure she can actually achieve them

  • Wants to set herself apart from the other dancers in the room, but instead ends up comparing herself to all the other dancers in the room

  • Is coming back from an injury & feeling a bit hesitant or cautious

Maybe you...

  • Want nothing more than to help your dancer reach her goals, but aren’t sure where to start

  • Know that focusing on things such as mindset, nutrition, cross-training, recovery, etc., will give her the edge she’s looking for

  • Want to feel confident that her performance anxiety isn’t going to get the best of her while you’re watching from the audience 

  • Want her to truly know just how beautiful and amazing she really is!

What if the solution is simpler than you think? What if your dancer just needs the tools to manage these situations??
Tangible tools & skills to use in class, rehearsals, performances, competitions, auditions, etc. that allow her to regain power over the one thing that controls everything else…HER MIND!

MAYBE YOU KNOW THE DANCE WORLD IS A CHALLENGING ONE & FEEL THESE DIFFICULTIES ARE NORMAL...

ONLY BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF MENTAL PERFORMANCE COACHING BEFORE.

MAYBE YOU'VE THOUGHT, "SHE JUST NEEDS TO TOUGHEN UP"...

EXCEPT PART OF THE PROBLEM MIGHT ACTUALLY BE JUST HOW TOUGH SHE'S BEING ON HERSELF.

OR MAYBE YOU'VE HEARD OF MENTAL PERFORMANCE COACHING, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY SOMETHING A DANCER DID IF SOMETHING WAS "WRONG" OR THEY WERE STRUGGLING WITH SOMETHING...

EXCEPT THE DANCERS WHO ARE TRAINING THEIR MINDS ARE CONSISTENTLY OUTPERFORMING OTHERS AND ACHIEVING THEIR GOALS!

HERE'S THE THING...

I've worked with so many dancers teaching these exact skills, and have witnessed SO many success stories!!

I've seen these dancers...

  • Go from feeling so nervous before performances, to managing their nerves and being fully present on stage

  • Go from feeling like they can't stop overthinking or comparing themselves to others, to knowing how to manage their thoughts

  • Go from not being able to see their own talent, to understanding what they are truly capable of

  • Compete on some of the biggest stages around the world and maintain their confidence the entire time

  • Earn scholarships to their dream ballet schools and summer intensives

  • Learn to step out of their comfort zone & find new styles of dance that they enjoy

  • Master new variations, solos, or even combinations in class, that they previously would've assumed were too difficult for them

  • Change their view of perfectionism and strengthen the passion they feel for dance

  • Return to the studio after an injury

There's nothing I love more than watching a dancer reach their goals & perform to their full ability while maintaining a healthy mindset along the way!

This Program Includes...

  • Training to learn how to shift & control her thoughts in order to use them to her advantage

  • Skills to teach her how to calm any nerves & let go of unwanted tension in order to perform confidently

  • Training to teach her how to use self-talk in a way that is super effective, and doesn't sound cheesy or like something she'd roll her eyes at

  • Skills to help her overcome perfectionism & learn to stop being so self-critical and sabotaging herself

  • Specific skills and routines to help her prepare for competitions & performances days in advance (no more laying in bed stressing about every piece that you're in!)

  • Specific instructions to teach her how to utilize all of her mental skills in the studio and backstage

  • Step-by-step instructions to create an effective pre-performance routine (a "mental warm-up")

  • Skills to help her improve and make progress more quickly

  • And so much more!

Your Mental performance coach

Hi-I'm Emily!

After I received my master’s degree in sport & exercise psychology, I began coaching athletes (mainly dancers and gymnasts) to help them improve their performance with the use of mental skills. I grew up doing ballet pre-professionally, so I know firsthand how difficult and demanding the dance world is physically AND mentally.

Many dancers have a very “type-A”, perfectionistic personality. They have really big goals, but are often super self-critical of themselves. Oftentimes, this comes from a good place - they have big expectations and are eager to achieve their goals. BUT what they don’t realize is that the constant nitpicking is actually causing more frustration, slows their progress, and drops their confidence.

This form of training is non-negotiable for serious dancers, and while I believe group seminars regarding mindset are wonderful…I firmly believe that there is nothing that can replace, or be as effective as, individualized coaching. Mental performance coaching is something that I wish I had access to when I was dancing. My goal now is to make mental performance coaching accessible to all dancers!

This is why I’ve created Champion Mindset Academy™ for Dancers - the most effective, streamlined training program available on its own (for dancers who wish to be independent) or in combination with one-on-one coaching sessions (available in person or via video call)!


I can’t wait to meet you! Let’s get to work! 

About the program:

Champion Mindset Academy™ for Dancers has been created with convenience in mind for the busiest schedules & is a more cost-effective option as compared to one-on-one coaching! This program will take your dancer from constant stress, pressure, and underperforming to….

  • Feeling in control of their performances 

  • Setting herself up for success & achieving her goals

  • Knowing how to manage her thoughts and emotions 

  • Having the mental strength and stamina to overcome tough solos/variations/roles, teachers/directors, and situations

  • Consistently performing confidently 

  • Reaching her full potential

By the end of this program, your dancer will have…

  • Learned many different mental skills and how to implement them in class, rehearsals, auditions, performances, competitions, etc.

  • Created a pre-performance routine/mental “warm up”

  • Learned how to break things down in class and apply her mental skills in order to perfect steps, combinations, variations, etc. efficiently

  • A plan of how to approach performances and competitions in the nights leading up to them

  • Lessened the overwhelm and pressure she currently experiences & places on herself to bring joy back into what she loves

Who is this program for?

  • DANCERS! Recommended for dancers 12 years old and up. If a parent plans to assist the child, then younger dancers can begin the program as well. Not recommended for dancers younger than 10 years old.

  • Dancers who are serious about what they do and have big goals and dreams

  • Dancers who want to feel confident and present on stage

  • Dancers who are tired of overthinking and comparing themselves to others

  • Dancers who want to be a step ahead in setting themselves up for a successful dance career

hear from izzy K.

"Ever since I started mental coaching, I’ve seen my dancing improve tremendously. I’ve felt a lot more confident and strong while dancing in class or on stage. My performances have been a lot less stressful so I am able to focus on my technique rather than being nervous. Before mental coaching, I was constantly getting frustrated with myself & overthinking. I have grown so much & I am so thankful for Emily and everything that she has done for me."

HEAR from betty P.

"Mental performance coaching has made me feel more confident about my body before going on stage & during my performance. Mrs. Emily has taught me a lot about how to calm down my negative nerves & anxiety so that I can concentrate on my dancing. Because of my mental skills I now know how to create a personalized pre-performance ritual that genuinely helps me mentally prepare."

HEAR from isabella t.

“The ways in which Mental Performance Coaching has improved my relationship with dance are immeasurable. Emily has provided me with so many helpful skills that have helped better my performance on stage and in the classroom. These new skills have allowed me to be more confident, strong, and also relaxed in a way to present my best self and enjoy the process. The exercises provided through Mental Performance Coaching are not only helpful when it comes to the pressures of training and performance but also very helpful during day to day life.”

HEAR from ellery S.

"I have been able to more efficiently and productively achieve my goals and pursue my dream of becoming a professional dancer. I never knew the impact coaching the mind could have on my dance performance. Using tools and strategies given to me during our time together, I am able to be more intentional and focused in my dance training.  In competition and performance settings, I have a clear plan to approach my performance present, focused, prepared, and calm. Working with Ms. Emily has helped me learn mental skills and create a positive mindset that enables me to become a better dancer.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Champion Mindset Academy™ for Dancers?

Champion Mindset Academy™ for Dancers is the step-by-step mental performance training program that turns serious dancers into exquisitely confident artists. This training program includes 12 modules full of 30+ video lessons, worksheets, and other material that I use to teach the skills they need to master in order to control their mind, and in turn, control their performance. I’ve also included a self-assessment so that the dancer can monitor their progress.

What is Mental Performance Coaching?

Mental performance coaching is, in short, the most effective form of performance enhancement. Through mental performance coaching, the dancer learns many different mental skills which allow her to consistently perform her best, reach her goals, master new steps/variations, prevent and/or overcome mental blocks, manage her thoughts and emotions, and more! Mental performance coaching takes her dancing to the next level.

Who is this program for?

In order for the dancer to understand the concepts and commit to the practicing of skills, I recommend this program for dancers age 12 y.o. and up. However, if a parent plans to be present & assist the dancer with the program, then younger dancers may participate (even still, I still would not recommend it for dancers younger than 10 y.o.). 

Important information regarding one-on-one coaching sessions

You have the option of purchasing Champion Mindset Academy™ for Dancers as a stand-alone, independent program OR as a part of a bundle which includes one-on-one coaching sessions with Emily. Individualized coaching sessions are 30 minutes each and are available in-office for those local to Dallas, TX or via video call for those in other states & countries.

In the effort of making this coaching as beneficial as possible, please note that the sessions should be one-on-one between the athlete & Emily. We love parents! However, athletes speak more freely with an outside/3rd party which leads to more beneficial coaching. *Emily is more than happy to meet parents at the beginning of the first session.*

Lastly, please try as best as you can to NOT schedule sessions when in the car. As convenient as it might sound to schedule the session on the way to rehearsal or practice, more often than not this causes video calls to cut in and out (or freeze) which results in a lot of wasted time. Again, we want this coaching to be as beneficial as possible, and malfunctioning video calls take time away from the session.

How long before my dancer begins seeing results?

Every dancer’s situation is different. However, on average I would say that if the dancer is consistently putting the time and effort into their training and practicing the mental skills, they could begin seeing changes within a few weeks. 


The dancer must commit to learning and practicing all of the mental skills taught in the program. These are skills and they take practice just like everything she does physically in class each day. If the dancer is not taking the time to practice & implement the skills, they will not see the results they are looking for. Simply watching the lessons in the videos will not cut it. I’ve provided a suggested schedule in the program to keep the dancer from rushing through the videos, and instead, take their time practicing & utilizing all of the skills for best results. 

How long do I have access to the program?

Once you buy the course, you have lifetime access, which means your dancer can go back and revisit lessons whenever she needs a refresher! You will be grandfathered into any and all updates (no price increase for you!). 

When does the program start and finish?

The program starts as soon as you start and never, ever ends! It is completely self-paced, and the skills are ones that will be utilized for the entirety of your dance career.

Is there a payment plan option?

Yes! You can pay at your own pace with our Buy Now, Pay Later options. Choose Affirm or Afterpay at checkout & select the payment plan that you like best!

What is the refund policy?

I am SO confident that you'll love this program...I guarantee* it! If you are unhappy with the program, you can request a refund within 14 days of purchasing.

*But remember, this program will teach your dancer all she needs to know. SHE is the one who has to do the work, practice the skills, implement them, etc. All I ask is that you send proof that your dancer implemented the required work & still saw NO improvement, and I’ll refund you!

The use of this course is solely for the individual purchaser. With your purchase, you agree not to share, copy, redistribute, or modify any part of this training program. Any form of sharing, copying, redistributing or modifying will result in immediate termination from the program without refund.

SOME MORE kind WORDS

"I've been able to gain more control over my thoughts, and I have grown a lot in my technique as well as performance quality. I've been able to accomplish my goals, and much more! CMA has really improved my performances, and freed up the mental space I need to stay focused during solos, and just enjoy my time onstage."

— Anonymous

“Mental performance coaching has helped me gain full control over my emotions before and during my on-stage performances. Because of my mental skills, I now have strategies to help me calm down and be the best I can every time on stage.”

— Elsa L.

“Mental performance coaching has helped me a lot with backstage prep before I compete my solos. I used to get really nervous before I competed and sometimes I would allow my nerves to completely take over. I’m always excited when I get to perform, and I’ve always felt that way, but before my mental coaching I would get really overwhelmed & I felt like it was hard to find moments where I could really just enjoy what I was doing. I learned that the mental aspect of dance is just as important as the physical one and thanks to Mrs. Emily and Champion Mindset I am able to perform to the best of my ability while still being able to really just enjoy the performance.”
