💫 We are celebrating another dance legend today

💫 We are celebrating another dance legend today: Mikhail Baryshnikov.

💫 Mikhail Baryshnikov is a force of nature, a true master of dance whose passion and talent have made an indelible mark on the art world. Known affectionately as Misha, Baryshnikov is a legendary Russian-American ballet dancer, choreographer, and actor considered one of history's greatest dancers.

💫 Today, we celebrate his contribution to American art as he is a living legend, a true dance icon, and a testament to the power of passion, talent, and dedication. His legacy will continue to inspire dancers, artists, and audiences worldwide for generations to come, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of all those who appreciate the beauty and power of art.

Stay tuned, darlings!
~Love, Sonja 🖤

Dear Dancer, 💫 Are you ready to join me on a j

💫 Innovation often comes from creatives who are

💫 Innovation often comes from creatives who are willing to think beyond what is currently considered possible or realistic. The willingness to challenge assumptions, take risks, and think outside of the box allows individuals to come up with truly imaginative ideas.

💫 Being unrealistic means not being bound by the limitations of what has been done before or what is currently considered feasible. This mindset can open up new avenues of thought and inspire individuals to consider possibilities that others have dismissed as impossible. When dancers are willing to think big and take risks, they can create revolutionary ideas to change the world.

💫 Embracing an unrealistic mindset can help individuals generate breakthrough ideas that have the potential to create meaningful change in the world. By pursuing ambitious visions with a sense of purpose and commitment, innovators can inspire others to think big and drive progress in ways that benefit society as a whole.

➡️ If you want to explore your imagination and test your creative boundaries, Dancer Premiere is coming soon.

Stay tuned, darlings!
~Love, Sonja 🖤

💫 Becoming a dancer is a journey that requires

💫 Becoming a dancer is a journey that requires not just physical strength; but also emotional fortitude. It's a path that demands patience, perseverance, and an unshakable belief in yourself.

💫 As you embark on this journey, know that there will be moments of doubt and uncertainty. You may feel frustrated when you can't seem to pick up choreography, your balance is off in that rétire, or you feel discouraged when others seem to progress faster than you. But know these feelings are normal and don't define your worth as a dancer.

💫 So, it's important to be kind to yourself and to remember that progress takes time. Every step you take, every pirouette you make, and every jeté you land brings you closer to your goal. And every mistake you make is an opportunity to learn and grow.

➡️ If you are looking for support as you journey your dance career, Dancer Premiere is coming soon.

Stay tuned, darlings!
~Love, Sonja 🖤

💫 You might as well be invisible in real life i

💫 You might as well be invisible in real life if you're not visible online. It's like being that kid in high school who sits alone at lunch - no one knows who you are, no one cares about you, and worst of all, you're missing out on all the juicy gossip and drama.

💫 But if you increase your online visibility, it's like you're suddenly the most popular kid in school. People are talking about you, sharing your memes, and maybe even sliding into your DMs (𝑎𝑙𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ, 𝑙𝑒𝑡'𝑠 𝑏𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙, 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑦 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑔𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛). Suddenly, you're the life of the party, and everyone wants to be your friend.

💫 Plus, think of all the cool things you can do when you're famous online! You can start a TikTok dance trend, get sponsored by an energy drink company, even become a meme, perform in an Oscar-winning film, or dance in the next Superbowl. The possibilities are endless!

💫 So, if you're not already working on your online presence, what are you waiting for? Get out there and start posting those dance videos and creative reels - your social status (and your ego) will thank you.

💫 This is your opportunity to start developing your dancer visibility.

💫 Let's face it. Freestyle dancing is a challen

💫 Let's face it. Freestyle dancing is a challenge for most of us dancers. And the not-so-true reality is you have the skill naturally, or you don't. But freestyling is a learned skill that some dancers have practiced and others have not. So YOU can become a strong freestyle dancer. You just have to put in the daily practice, play, and imagination.

💫 The good news is I can help you get there. We have a 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝟐𝟏 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 available for you. This challenge will ignite your creative imagination and force you to explore movement with your body. (Don't you think it's about time we learn to dance without someone telling us what moves to do?)

💫 This is your opportunity to start developing your freestyle skills.

💫 Okay, here's the deal: cross-training in danc

💫 Okay, here's the deal: cross-training in dance is pretty important. It's like hitting the gym, but for your dance skills. Not only does it help prevent injuries (which is a major win because who wants to deal with a pulled hamstring?), but it also helps you become a more versatile dancer.

💫 And let's be real; versatility is critical if you want to make it in the dance world. No one's gonna hire a one-trick pony who can only do pirouettes. Plus, cross-training can be super fun! You get to try out new strengthening programs and techniques, and who knows, you might just discover a new favorite hobby (hello, Gyrotonic).

💫 And if you're feeling burned out on your growth as a dancer, cross-training can be a great way to mix things up and avoid injury. So, don't be afraid to try something new and get your cross-training on. Your body (and your dance career) will thank you for it!

➡️ We are launching the world's first dancer visibility mentorship program for dancers. The doors open in March so be sure to follow us for more information and turn on your notifications!

Stay tuned, darlings!

💫 With accomplishments such as introducing Mich

💫 With accomplishments such as introducing Michael Jackson to hip-hop and choreographing for Mariah Carey and Will Smith, Buddha Stretch's contributions to the dance world have been nothing short of remarkable.

💫 His unique style and innovative approach have helped to push the boundaries of what is possible in dance, and his impact on the industry will be felt for generations to come. We celebrate his life and work and look forward to seeing what he will achieve.

Stay tuned, darlings!
