You DON'T need to be born a thoroughbred to be successful.
But you DO need to train differently than one.
Let me show you how.
Definitions
Thoroughbred (noun):
Someone born with the genetics conducive to the physical demands of ballet (aka a "ballet body") plus the life circumstances that allow for the ideal training environment, giving them an advantage in the dance world.

You (noun):
Someone with an insatiable passion to dance, yet you encounter hardships (either physical, mental, and/or logistical) that block you from experiencing fulfillment & "success" in the dance world. You constantly feel "less than" when comparing yourself to the other dancers in the room.
Confidence comes from understanding your body -- and knowing how to make it better.
Instead of stuffing it into the "ballet body" mold that doesn't fit.
Discover your body's unique potential. Stop trying to fit in…train differently.
Make the most of the body you were born with.
Your peak performance state requires the confidence to be vulnerable in your art and the strength to get the job done. This requires you to heal the relationship with your body while making it better.
And you get both from this training method.
FAQs
What is the Bulletproof Ballerina® method?
This is not your typical bootcamp with loud music blaring, lots of huffing & puffing, and complicated, jarring movements.

The Bulletproof Ballerina® method involves a slow, controlled, Zen-like form of strength training that relies on your mind-body connection & awareness to get results, including enhanced strength, coordination, range of motion, stamina, & resiliency. It's this simplicity that allows you to focus on the quality of movement and work hard without putting unnecessary wear-and-tear on your body.
How is this training different from other fitness?
Most fitness focuses on copying a move or routine. The emphasis is on the exercise itself.

This focuses on your body and how to get the most out of it in terms of its strength, mobility, coordination, stamina, & power. It's like a guided meditation that gets you in your body and allows you to understand it better. It's this mind-body connection that transforms your physicality and performance ability. This is also what builds confidence in your unique body's potential.
What kind of results can I expect?
Even though this workout is based on strength training, strength isn't the only benefit you will get.

With both the Express & Luxe Sessions, you'll get enhanced stamina, injury resiliency, flexibility, mobility, power...all while gaining an understanding of how your unique body works. This specific style of training protects your joints by strengthening the connective tissues while teaching you how to use your body better. You'll learn where your limits are. Some of those limits you'll be able to gently push passed. Others you'll accept as part of your genetics and learn to work around them.

In other words, this workout bulletproofs you against injuries and brings you closer to peak performance in life. You'll walk away with more power, confidence, coordination, control, and respect for your body.
Which training option is right for me?
If you are a dancer, athlete, or someone with a lot of physical activity going on in your life already, the 30-minute Express Sessions are all you need.

If you have an injury/goal needing special attention or if you are looking for a more all-inclusive approach to your health and wellness with simple mobility, stretching, self-massage techniques, the 60-minute Luxe might be a better option for you.
How often should I train?
This is dependent on your current activity level. If you have a lot of other physically demanding workouts, practices, or rehearsals, once per week is a good place to start. You can always throw in an extra workout if desired.

If you have a desk job or can't find time to take care of yourself because you are too busy taking care of others, two sessions per week will help you feel best in your body.
Do I need to be an athlete or dancer to work with you?
Absolutely not. The beauty of these private sessions is that they cater to YOU and your specific needs. Before we begin, we will evaluate your current condition and goals in order to set a plan for how best to take care of you. This is concierge service. There's no judgement. No level you "should" be at. No expectations. This is all about YOU and how we can help you feel confident in your body and life. No previous experience or athletic prowess necessary.
