Zara and I studied at The Australian Ballet School together and have reconnected in the last couple of years as she enters the world of teaching ballet. Zara has a fascinating story, leaving the world of pre-professional ballet for life as a law student and lawyer, to eventually find her way back to ballet after experiencing some personal trauma. I just love that she’s fallen back in love with ballet and sharing her passion for it with her own students now.

It's about time I invited Virginia (aka. Demi Pointe Dancewear!) on the podcast! Virginia was one of my very first adult ballet students and continues to take multiple classes with me every week. But what's really special is that Virginia started her small business out of my business! I always receive messages from people in the #BalancedBallerinas community about my students fashion and in particular everyones skirts…. They are almost always by Virginia who creates custom, bespoke designs to suit a variety of ballet bodies and tastes. It's an absolute honour to share not only Virginia's small business journey, but also her personal adult ballet journey. Virginia is a wonderful client, student and friend who is a huge part of my studio and it’s very essence. I can’t thank her enough for the support over the past decade. The best place to connect with Virginia would be to head to her instagram @demipointe_dancewear and find the links to her Etsy store there! I also know Virginia would LOVE for you to drop into her DM’s to say hello or talk about creating a custom design for you! _______________ You can find more resources at www.balancedballerinas.com Instagram @thebalancedballerina Podcast @balancedballerinas Facebook - Balanced Ballerinas (ensure you join the *SECRET* Facebook group too!) https://www.facebook.com/groups/balancedballerinas/

When I recently did a Q&A on Instagram, someone from the BB community asked me, "Do you regret not having a career as a professional ballerina?" What a fabulous question to explore!

I'm excited to share my answer because it honestly highlights how much I love the work that I do... ________________ Join our community: Instagram @thebalancedballerina Podcast @balancedballerinas Facebook - Balanced Ballerinas And be sure to join the Balanced Ballerinas *SECRET* Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/balancedballerinas

It was surreal to have her by my side during my morning walk this morning and half way through we decided to record a podcast episode today! Sophie and I learned ballet together whilst growing up, but as you'll hear we were VERY different students. This conversation is fun, light, sugary and full of sister love!

Her special interest in treating performing artists (who are at increased risk of hypermobility disorders) stems from her many years as a ballet dancer and shattered dreams of turning professional due to her own hypermobility disorder. An integrative medicine physician with certification in Performing Arts Medicine, Dr. Bluestein takes a unique approach to the evaluation and treatment of this highly specialised population. Dr. Bluestein is an international speaker on the forefront of research on pain, hypermobility and dance medicine. Professional services include individual telemedicine visits as well as workshops and lectures for groups. Dr. Bluestein received her Doctor of Medicine from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine followed by the completion of an anesthesiology residency at the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine and is board-certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology. Personally I came across Linda's work when I was perusing dance related podcasts. She co-hosts the 'Bendy Bodies' podcast with Jennifer Milner and they cover a range of really useful topics for dancers, dance teachers and really anyone interested in optimising their health. Now it was an episode about the connection between hypermobility and anxiety that really caught my attention and as you'll hear in this conversation I found Linda's discussion about this topic incredibly fascinating and useful when working with my own clients. Linda is so smart, so driven and I really respect the work she's doing in this space. An absolute gift to the dance world and I can't thank her enough for her own podcast and content that she shares so freely. Thank you so much Linda for also carving out some time to share yourself with the Balanced Ballerinas community!
