Hi, I'm Kirsten!

I am a High-Performance Mindset Coach, passionate about helping dancers build a mindset that allows them to perform their personal best consistently with confidence and joy. 

As a former professional dancer, I know what it’s like to put in so much effort into achieving my goals, only to watch my uncontrollable nerves cause me to crack under pressure or to have self-doubt suck the joy out of dance.

In a world where there are endless tips on the internet on how to improve your technique, I know that specialized support in learning to master the mental side of dance is one of the resources that many serious dancers need yet lack the most.

That is why I am so passionate about offering this support to dancers so that YOU can thrive in your daily dancing and achieve your training or career goals!

From it's humble beginnings in 2011 (and by "humble" I mean filming alongside my twin sister on our webcam), The Confident Dancer (formerly called TwinTalksBallet) has grown into a global online community of well over 20,000 dancers on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. 

The Confident Dancer is a platform where I share everything I wish I knew on my journey as a young, aspiring dancer trying to work her way up from a small studio. Whether you are looking for tips on how to rock audition season or you want to know the honest, rarely discussed truth about real issues within the dance community, you're sure to find a video or an Instagram post that speaks to whatever point you find yourself at in your dance journey.
