Beyond the Spotlight

What you should expect

Beyond the Spotlight is for professionals like senior corps de ballet, soloists, first soloists, or principal dancers who consider themselves at the peak of their dance career. This is the first of its kind dance mentorship plan specifically offering mentorship to the seasoned professional. Single sessions or with a full plan. One on one with me. Please note: I like to meet with a mentee once a month to establish a consistent dance mentorship schedule however, once you purchase, you do have the 5 sessions to use as you feel best throughout the year. | Overview | Beyond the Spotlight supports top artists and aims to integrate guidance as a tool to enhance performance and strengthen skills to navigate changes in role responsibilities within the career peak. It dives into industry transitions to a new company at this stage in the career and supports post-dance opportunities. | What to expect | You can expect to discussions to include individualized topics in addition to dance mentorship curriculum covering topics listed below: Regain momentum. Navigate a transition outside of dance. Deciding about attending school. Manage new responsibilities. Casting changes. Learn to take on new role responsibilities and manage that pressure onstage. Understand industry trends between companies. Communication and advocacy. Learning to network for the future. Turnover. Lack of professional development. Training versus real-world expectations. | Why | As a current principal dancer, going through it now, and someone who spent significant time in each rank, I am excited to share knowledge from 25+ years in the field to support my understanding of each rank that leads to the top. Fifth Position Path is opening the door to the expansion of dance mentorship inside dance companies all the way up the ladder. Let’s break this barrier together! I look forward to working with you!
