The Performers Circle

Where professional dancers learn to deliver a powerful performance

The Performers Circle is a space where, through fitness and mindfulness, dancers learn to train and perform like confident dance athletes. Working with me, dancers develop the ability to deliver a striking performance, an unshakable authentic confidence, and a fulfilling life beyond dance. And that trifecta is what drives our mission and method.

What if you are not flexible because you are not strong enough?

I want you to be as mobile as possible and as strong as possible in your full range.

Believe it or not the stronger you are, the more flexible you are.

And remember what’s flexible doesn’t break!

Drop me a message to build strength and length.

What kind of coaching are you looking for?

Message me the word “JUNE” and let’s figure out what you need.

You have probably never thought about what kind of coaching will be right for you.

But this is an opportunity to find out.

7 SPACES OPEN FOR JUNE

This has worked for me more than once…

I was out for 2 years because of COVID and had a year and a half break to have a baby.

I am not a cat with nine lives.

I am just a woman that does resistance training.

There is method to the madness.. Drop me a DM. I’ll show you the way.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again….

Strength training makes you a better dancer FAST!

Faster than you have ever imagined.

The additional stimulus the muscle gets training with weights, makes dance movements feel EASIER.

And if your movement feels easier, you can improve faster…

And most importantly enjoy your dancing sooner!

Message me the word “FAST” if you are ready to enjoy your dancing more!

This turned out to be very popular… so here it is again!

Quite a few dance pros and dance lovers have got back to me saying they found my fitness resource very useful.

So I want to offer it to a few more people out there.

Drop me a ✋🏽in the comments and I’ll shoot this over to you!

If your confidence yo-yos alongside your body, you should join us!

Fuelling and training your body according to your needs is the key to consistent athletic fitness.

Come and find out how it works for you.

Have you unlocked your full potential?

Any human, let alone any dancer can make this kind of progress.

If you are a total beginner, even better…

The only way is up!

Whether you are a dance lover or a pro, there is probably so much more you could do!

Drop me a “130” in the DMs and I’ll be in touch.

Thanks @hollysaw for being the perfect dancer fitness inspo😆

It’s all about that 🍑

Think about how small the foot and ankle joint are compared to everything they are holding up…

If your lower leg doesn’t get any help from the bigger muscles groups above, you’re in for some trouble.

Strong glutes give you:
⭐️ Higher arabesque
⭐️ Better balance on one leg
⭐️ Higher jumps

If you have never done hip thrusts, deadlifts and kickbacks in the effort to keep your bum small…

You are also unconsciously putting effort in keeping your dancing OK… 🤷🏽‍♀️

If you want to elevate your dancing this summer, send me a message with “NOT OK” and I will be in touch!

If you are a dance lover like Sinéad, drop a “🤍🩰” in the comments.

If you passionate about dance like Sinéad, you probably regularly go to class and ballet workshops.

She is one of my most consistent clients and her dedication has clearly paid off… to the point that her teacher reached out to me to share how much she had been improving!

As a coach that is the biggest reward of all, knowing that The Performers Circle programme works and my clients get to experience the craft to their full potential.

Your journey could be very similar to Sinéad’s, just drop “🤍🩰” in the comments and I’ll be in touch.

Farewell Swan Lake 🦢

It’s time for this Queen and her passanger princess to take the last bow.

I have never felt as proud of myself and my performance as I have in the last few weeks dancing 5 months pregnant.

I am so grateful to my love @jam.savage - nonna @filomenacapodilupo and soon to be big brother Leo for supporting me a championing me through this journey… it’s been a tough ride, but you’ve all made it so enjoyable.

Goodbye corsets and hello maternity summer dresses…

Bambina Kabera-Savage arriving this September 🌻👧🏽🌻

Longevity over ego!

If you, like me, want to dance for as long as possible, you need to know how to assess your needs.

They will change all the time and should adapt with them.

Make the right choice by joining us and learning to do so.

You can’t change my mind about this…

Fusing techniques that are complicated is a very attractive way to make the craft more accessible.

But unless you are going to ballet class, you are probably not doing the real thing.

Yes, fitness makes you better at ballet, but that doesn’t mean that you have to fuse the two.

But if you want an example of how your gym training supports your dancing, give me a “💪🏽” in the comments and I’ll send you over a little something…

it’s free!

It’s time to try something different…

Come here to find out what a career filled with confidence feels like.

And if you are brave enough, share your audition regrets with me in the DMs

We are probably what you have been needing for a while.

Come and find out if we are the right team to back you.

Drop us a message today.

This is what training for dancers from dancers looks like.

Drop a ⭐ in the comments if you are joining a show.

Or a 💪🏽 if a cast change is round the corner.

DM me the word “CAREER” to change your approach to training!

Which one do you take more seriously?

Your career of the single job?!

If you can honestly recognise that you have been prioritising the latter then you might need to reassess your approach.

DM me today to make a shift.

The reason why you think this is because you think lifting will turn you into a bodybuilder… 🤷🏽‍♀️

Bodybuilders restriction of movement is our worst nightmare.

And if you are not already naturally flexible, it’s scary to try something that can make you worse.

Mobility drills, active and loaded stretching can actually improve your range of movement more long term than passive stretching alone.

The fear of bulking is preventing you from gaining flexibility. Bulking is a combination of training and specific nutrition, it doesn’t happen by chance.

Message me the word “FLEX” if you want to have a chat about how lifting could improve your range of movement.

Half of the May spaces have been taken…

How do you plan to feel in 3 months time?

If you want to feel more confident in yourself and your dancing this summer, the work should start now!

Dm me the word “MAY” to start the journey with me.

Vulnerability opens doors for yourself and those around you.

Are you comfortable being vulnerable or are you still pretending to leave your problems at the door?

How lucky am I to have worked with so many amazing dancers…

I have only uploaded a handful of testimonials to my website, but it’s just nice to sit back and realise what privilege I have to work with such talent.

The one thing I know for a face that everyone who goes through The Performers Circle is as passionate about dance as I do.

This job is too hard not to enjoy it!

Since that moment my career just went from strength to strength.

I am no longer in my own way…

I still get shit body image day, but my response is a lot more rational than it used to be…

Because I know my worth.

Hands up if you have ever said the “fat day” phrase…

May intake is in full swing!

To be completely honest there are only 5 spaces left 🙈.

People going tour in summer are making sure that they get to rehearsals feeling their best!

Why wait for the rehearsals to make you “fit”? When you can make a great first impression from day 1?

Drop a message with the word “MAY” to get the ball rolling

If that sounds like your typical gym visit, we should have a chat…

When joining The Performers Circle, you can learn about:
⭐ Muscle adaptation
⭐ Progressive overload
⭐ Body composition

That’s what’s going to give you real results and real change

Drop me a message today!

🚨EP 2 with @jordanjbridge is OUT🚨

This weeks’ topic is CONFIDENCE.

If you look up the word confidence on the dictionary you’ll find Jordan’s picture… and rightfully so!

Use the link in my bio to have a listen at the lastest episode of The Performers Circle Podcast!

This is a good one… trust Jordan and I to just say it as it is!!!

Have a listen 🎧

This is what my coaching is about.

Helping you see how your hangups are preventing you from fulfilling your true potential.

Have you felt that your value depends on your size?

Can anyone relate?

I have this quote up on my wall…

Why? Because it makes me really look at myself.

Have I put enough effort in? With enough consistency for things to work out?

If the answer is not a Hell Yes and it is a NO and I need to give myself a kick up the butt.

My future depends on me.

And yours depends on the things you avoid or face today.

Does this quote resonate with you? Let me know in the comments.

Don’t wait 6 years like me to become the best version of yourself 🙈

How often I wish I discovered strength and conditioning sooner?!

Daily.

It was such a revelation to me that I just need to share it in my coaching now.

You are probably more ready than you think to take on the journey. Get in touch and let’s see where you are at.

#theperformerscircle #afmvibes

Let me tell you something about the results you never thought possible…

In The Performers Circle they are a reality.

People look, feel and perform to the standard they knew was always available to them.

Do you want to be one of us?

I did ask whether you wanted to hear my two pence about this…

And a vast majority of you said YES, so here it goes.

Find the link to my podcast in my bio and listen to my reaction to last week’s articles regarding the future of ballet.

Please give The Performers Circle Podcast a follow and let me know what you think about this topic.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I am not a fan of competition…

Being an only child has taught me to think like I am always in a league of my own.

No competitors in sight to get distracted by…

Could this mentality work for you in auditions?

Let me know in the comments.

You will hear more NOs than YESes… So how do you keep going?

It all comes down to your ability to keep the negativity away.

If you give into negativity, you will become desperate for some wins.

And if they don’t come, you’ll be stuck showing up desperate.

But if you use each experience to intentionally improve, your luck might change.

What do you feel at the moment? Resilient or desperate?

Let me know in the comments.

🤩 THE PERFORMERS CIRCLE PODCAST IS BACK 🤩

For the first episode of this new season, I am giving you some insight of what it means to me to Create a Vision for my career and my future.

This process has helped me go after what I wanted with the confidence that I had the power to achieve my dreams.

Please give this a listen. Give my podcast a follow and a 5⭐️ review if you are keen. And let me know what you think.

Find the link in bio.

Ciao x

Being a beginner is a temporary state…

Once you learn the ropes of the gym environment, the confidence will come.

The Performers Circle is here to teach you the ropes…

Get in touch today to get this show on the road!

Make the most of your dry spell…

If you just give up on yourself, those that stay resilient will surpass you.

If you keep working on yourself, your time will come.

I can give you the guidance to make the most of that time.

Drop me a message today.

There is always going to be someone to look up to…

But if you train like you are in a league of your own, you’ll eliminate the distractions.

That’s better than wishing you looked and danced like someone else…

Isn’t it?

Your career can’t change from one day to the other…

So you need to give your fitness journey the same grace.

Stay consistent and patient and focus on enjoying the journey.

That is the ethos of The Performers Circle.

If it’s not a “hell yes” that it is a NO.

You have worked too hard to put yourself through auditions and jobs you know are not right for you.

I can help you build the courage to say no to the things that don’t serve you.

DM me today and let’s chat.

This is the boost that your career needs.

Stop worrying about what you haven’t been able to achieve.

Let’s get you ready and excited for the future.

Are you in?

Sometimes you just need a reminder of who you are doing it for.

If you believe you are worth fighting for, then fight to be the best you can possibly be.

I will be your ally.

Drop me a 💪 in the comments to start your journey.

This one is all about you.

What are your individual goals this year?

Let me know in the comments.

Wednesday night Dream Team! 💫

The job is great… but it’s the people that make it special 🥰🤍

@mbnewadventures

The successful dancers you know work with me don’t have more time than you.

They just allowed me to help them find what works for them.

The only difference between you and them is that they decided to commit.

Tell me something I don’t know…

The shame we carry about how we feel prevents us from overcoming the issue.

I am always open to hear about how you feel.

And if you want to hear my experience with body dysmorphia head to Spotify and listen to The
Performers Circle Podcast episode on this topic.

If your answer is not an immediate YES, then it’s a no��…

If you are not super clear on what you want and how to better your chances to reach your dream future, you need guidance.

This is what I am here for… Drop me a message today.

I’ll get the answers you haven’t been able to get yourself.

Believe me, I have a way with words…

And a tendency to not accept “I don’t know” as a valid response.

Drop me a message today to find out the truth.

Which one is jumping at you from that list?

Whichever one it is… That’s where you should start.

I can facilitate that for you.

All you have to do is drop me a message.

Your partner, your friends, your family or kids, if you have them.

That’s what I talk about when I speak about PERSONAL LIFE.

I would love to know some of your answers.

Let me know in the comments.

That dream future sounds too sweet to gamble away…

Drop me a 💪🏽 in the comments to start your journey
