Tiia Huuhka: Body Image in Dance

What if the thing keeping you from becoming a better dancer has nothing to do with your technique — and everything to do with how you see your body? Registered Dietitian and Bachata dancer Tiia Huuhka reveals the hidden body image crisis in the dance world that nobody is talking about.In this powerful conversation, registered Dietitian and Body Awareness Coach Tiia Huuhka opens up about the toxic body image standards she discovered after entering the bachata community. Drawing from her background in clinical nutrition, a 150-person survey, and weekly Instagram Lives with dancers around the world, Tiia exposes how narrow beauty standards, body commenting culture, and perfectionism are silently harming dancers of all sizes. She shares her own journey from obsessive "clean eating" to body liberation, offers practical strategies for showing up authentically on the dance floor — from choosing comfort over appearance expectations to sending yourself voice messages — and explains why true magnetism in dance comes not from how you look, but from how present you are.

Fiorella: Get Out of Your Head

🧠 What if the reason you're not improving as a dancer has nothing to do with technique — and everything to do with what's happening inside your head? A psychologist and bachata dancer reveals the mindset shifts that transformed her dance and her life. In this powerful episode of the Step by Step podcast, we sit down with Fiorella— a psychologist, bachata dancer, and movement therapist — who shares how dance became her gateway to healing, self-discovery, and purpose. From starting bachata at 24 to co-founding a dance school championing role rotation and equality, Fiorella opens up about how we store unprocessed emotions in our bodies, why most of us are "walking heads," and how simple mindset tools like anchoring, mantras, and reflection can radically transform your experience on the dance floor and beyond. She also discusses the dangers of comparison, the myth of "not being good enough" to ask someone to dance, and how to strip away performance to find your authentic self through movement. 💃 JOIN THE COMMUNITY: - Subscribe for more dance mindset tips and interviews with amazing people: @flowstepbystep - Follow us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flowstepbystep/ - Follow us TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flowstepbystep

In this deeply moving conversation, Mayra opens up about her extraordinary life journey — from growing up dancing in Argentina to studying medicine, working on TV, facing a devastating health crisis at just 21, and surviving the 2020 Beirut explosion. Through every chapter, dance remained her anchor and her medicine.
