Episode 107: From Fear to Intuition: How to find your own path to success with Susanne Puerschel
Summary:
As a dancer, are you following someone else’s dream or your own? Do you have dreams of becoming a famous professional ballet dancer? Who do you think you need to be in order to be successful in the dance industry?
My guest today is Susanne Puerschel, a former professional ballet dancer and founder of Pointe to Rise, an empowerment society and online business platform for ballerinas and other dancers. Susanne is passionate about moving beyond old beliefs and systems that no longer serve dancers and dance teachers and finding new and better ways of doing things. In this episode, we’ll take a look at these questions and talk about breaking down some negative beliefs that are probably not serving you, and instead finding your path to your own dreams. We’ll also be talking about the concepts of being a well-rounded dancer and a starving artist, as well as three mindset tools that are helping Susanne that might help you too.
Susanne shares so much wisdom for dancers and artists alike who have big dreams. If you're considering a professional ballet or dance career, or if you're the one helping others along the journey to their professional dance careers, I invite you to listen to this episode! “Anything is possible as long as you believe in it.”
“Right now, we’re creating machines that just work. We don't create creatives that bring something to the stages that actually lure people back into the audiences that come and want to actually see individuals. Even if you're in a core, you still can be your own person. We’re not talking about being the same as Lily in front of you; we’re only talking about matching the movements, and that’s different. I think the lines have been blurred over the past couple decades.”
