The Confident Dancer Podcast The Confident Dancer

Hi Dancers! I hope you enjoy this conversation with Anabel Katsnelson from American Ballet Theatre! I know that so many dancers dream of dancing for such a big and reputable classical ballet company, so I thought it would be wonderful to have Anabel on to talk about what it's actually like to dance for such a big company and to also share what advice she has for dancers who aspire to follow the same path. Enjoy!

Anabel's Bio:
Anabel Katsnelson was born in New City, New York and began training at the Petrov Ballet Academy. In 2014, she performed with the Suzanne Farrell Ballet and in 2015 she joined Houston Ballet II. Katsnelson joined the American Ballet Theatre Studio Company in September 2016 and became a member of the corps de ballet in June 2017. Her repertoire includes a Shade in La Bayadère, Amour in Don Quixote, Canary fairy in Sleeping Beauty, Bomb Squad in ‘In the Upper Room’, Chinese in Nutcracker, and pas de trois in Swan Lake.

Hi Dancers! I hope you enjoy this episode on "Why Focusing on Natural Talent is Holding You Back"! With how often I hear dancers expressing frustration that they aren't a "natural turner" or "a quick learner" or "a jumper", I have learned just how dangerous for our progress and confidence it is to fixate on these labels. Does natural talent exist? Sure. But in this video, I want to share with you a much more productive way to spend your focus and energy so that you can truly dance to your fullest potential. Enjoy!

Hi Dancers! I hope this episode on 4 LIES That Dancers are Often Taught to Believe is eye-opening and helpful for you! Since our beliefs are so powerful in either helping or hindering us from confidently performing to our fullest potential, I wanted to make this video to help you let go of these four common beliefs that I see negatively affecting dancers.

Hi Dancers! I hope this video on 5 Belief Changes That Made Me a Better Dancer is eye-opening and helpful for you! This video was inspired by an Instagram post I made a few weeks ago on "5 Things I No Longer Believe as a Dancer" and since it was very well received, I thought I'd make a video on it! These mentality shifts have allowed me to approach my dancing in a much healthier way, allowing me to put my best foot forward in training, and ultimately improve my skill WHILE enjoying the process. I hope these shifts do the same for you. Happy dancing!

Hi Dancers! I hope this video on the real way to build confidence as a dancer is eye-opening and helpful for you! I used to feel so frustrated when I heard people say "you have to believe in yourself" or "you have to be confident" to be the best dancer you can be, but they wouldn't share HOW to actually do that! I hope this video helps you to identify and understand the practical first steps to building confidence as a dancer that not many people talk about so you can start tapping into that feeling yourself. Happy dancing!
