Episode 97: 10 Miracle Benefits of Effective Imagery
Summary:
Do your dancers like to close their eyes and visualize their routine before taking the stage? Does visualization help improve sport performance or is it just a popular thing dancers like to do? Did you know that visualization or imagery is not just about picturing yourself doing the dance? There is research that helps explain why it works and why it’s worth your time, but it’s also not as simple as just picturing yourself. There’s much more to it. Today, we’ll be discussing visualization. I’ll explain what visualization is and share some visualization techniques including nine benefits of using imagery to improve your skills.
If you're interested in these kinds of mental skills and more, there are visualization scripts and much more inside the dance coach membership Relevé. You can send me an email or a DM. I’d love to talk to you about it, see how you're using imagery, as well as answer any questions that come up for you!
“When you imagine a skill, the effect on the brain is the same as performing the skill.
– Dr. P
