At universities and in industries like business or technology, mentorship programs and career coaches often help students and new employees navigate their professional tracks.

"Let me open by saying that I admire you—choosing to enter a ballet competition must be daunting. I never had the opportunity myself, and in some ways, I am really relieved by that. My self-confidence was an issue when I was young, and I think I would have gone in with the wrong mindset and learned all the wrong lessons. Now that I’m a teacher and coach, my hope is to help you have the best time possible in your competition experience." #competition #ballet #balletcompetition #teacher #advice

Attitude turns en dedans are one of the most striking steps that dancers execute, from their day-to-day classes to their variations onstage. Mastering this type of turn with consistency, precision and grace requires continual effort and discipline in class. Stacey Calvert, artistic advisor at Ballet Academy East (BAE) in New York City, acknowledges that attitude turns can be very challenging. That said, “teaching these turns is extremely important to have in your repertoire,” she says. Ballet Academy East, Calvert, Onstage, Stacey, New York City, Attitude, Bae, Turn Ons
