Ballet to Business Jordan Nicole

As Emily Pearson turned to Yoga to wind down after a taxing day of rehearsals as a Principal Dancer with Ballet West, she realized just how much of her time was spent living out of yoga clothes. Totally relatable! With athleisure on the rise, we all know how functional & comfortable yoga clothes can be, however are our purchases for ‘fast fashion’ the most ethical?

I know MANY of us are feeling this loss right now! Performances we were looking forward to, cancelled. Roles we were had been hoping to experience, no longer happening. Student showcases, senior performances both in high school and college.. It is loss and it is so disappointing.
I understand this disappointment. And I know from experience it can either breed a root of bitterness inside of you or it can serve as a reminder to keep you focused on the current day you’ve been given rather than becoming bitter about what would’ve been.
So in today’s episode I’ll be sharing what these 5 stages of loss have felt like in my own life and how you can effectively cope through them.  And then afterward, I’ll be sharing how I’ve personally have been going through this season of quarantine.

With all that's been lost, what we have been given is TIME.
I needed not only time to create this podcast, but education.
Join me in attending the Expand Online Summit for Artists May 4-8th to learn just how you can make your ideas into a reality online.

Today’s show is really special as my friend Claudia Suarez, a beautiful young, Venezuelan born dancer, is an incredible entrepreneur in her own right

Not only was I inspired by her when I found her on Instagram, but I was impressed by her, because I then learned how she not only is pursuing ballet with full vigor, but she is an avid writer on her own blog and had started a podcast called Beyond the Corps, a podcast where she hosts meaningful, dance-related conversations.
In this episode: Claudia and I discuss 'A Dancer's Plan B', is it possible to be prepared for the time of transition, why it's difficult, & tips on how to get started.

 On today’s show we have Elana Roberts with us, a San Francisco native who worked her way up through the San Francisco Ballet School from level one all the way to reaching the rank of soloist with the company.
But it took leaving San Francisco to spend almost a year abroad studying in Italy, to truly help her see all the potential she had back at home waiting for her… from ballet to farming to bookkeeping, here’s Elana Roberts.
