KNOWLEDGE. SUPPORT. MINDSET. BALANCE.
I know I felt that way as a student and a young pro! Becoming a professional dancer can feel like a landmine filled with uncertainty and unknowns.
You get glimpses of what to do, you know there are many paths to get there, and you’re doing everything possible to get the training you need.
But you wish you could do something more…
Dancers succeed when they know what to do and how to do it.. without the overwhelming uncertainty and doubt.
Using achievable goal-setting, career planning, mindset, and proactivity, mentoring will set you up for a career as a happy, healthy dancer who “makes it.”
One who knows that even though being a dancer feels like an all-consuming sprint to a finish line that’s complete with a ticking clock, it doesn’t have to feel that way.

"Can I ACTUALLY become a professional dancer?" Does this question ring in the back of your mind?
Heyo, I'm Claire. I've been a professional ballet dancer for almost a decade and my own struggles as a student and young pro left me with a deep belief that...
...if you want to make it and then continue as a professional dancer, you can't let your brain stop you before you've even started.
This is for you if you're...
dreaming of a career, but struggling with stress, comparison, or fear of not being good enough
just wanting to know how to actually get there
wanting to support your dancer without adding pressure
looking for balance, health, and a long, joyful dance career (instead of one built on burnout).
Inside this space, dancers learn to...
build unshakable self-belief (even on the hard days)
set goals that actually move them forward
understand their options and make confident career choices
let go of stress and perfectionism so they can perform at their best
navigate the audition world with more peace and less panic.
I'm Claire Hutchinson, an Alabama Ballet company dancer, dance instructor, and mentor for pre-professional dancers, students, and pros starting their careers.
My professional experiences, as well as my own struggles as a young dancer, have made me passionate about guiding the next generation of dancers.
I want to help you navigate and understand the physical, mental, and emotional demands of a career in ballet while taking care of yourself not just as a dancer, but as a human too.
