    “This guide felt like permission to take care of myself without earning it first. It helped me see self-care as part of performance — not something separate from it.”

    Retired Professional Dancer

    What you get:

    When you download the Self-Care Guide for Dancers, you’ll find:

    • Simple, practical reminders for nourishing your body with balanced meals
    • Permission-based movement guidance that emphasizes joy, not pressure
    • Recovery and rest support, including sleep and wind-down routines
    • Mindset prompts to help shift away from self-criticism and toward self-trust
    • Affirmations and visual reminders that reinforce:
      you don’t have to earn rest, food, or care

    This guide is meant to be revisited — on hard days, long weeks, or whenever you need a reminder that you deserve support.

    who is this for?

    This guide may be especially helpful if you:

    • feel burned out or stretched thin
    • struggle with guilt around rest or downtime
    • want to care for your body without tracking or restriction
    • are looking for a more compassionate relationship with dance

    You don’t need to be in crisis to use this guide.
    Self-care is preventative, not reactive.

    What is it all about?

    Dance asks a lot of you — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

    This Self-Care Guide is here to remind you that caring for yourself isn’t a reward you earn after working hard enough. It’s a necessary part of sustainable dancing.

    Inside this guide, self-care is reframed as:

    • fueling consistently and with kindness
    • moving in ways that respect your body’s needs
    • prioritizing rest and recovery without guilt
    • speaking to yourself with the same compassion you’d offer a friend

    This isn’t about doing more or “getting it right.”
    It’s about supporting your body so you can keep dancing — and living — with more ease.
