Revolutionising self-confidence and emotional health support for dancers.

Grow in 

self-confidence and let go of comparison in and out of the studio.

Is your child:

Comparing themselves to their classmates?

Worrying about getting things wrong?

Feeling nervous and stressed about exams?

Feeing anxious in new situations?

If so, then I can help 

Working with 11-15 year olds to help them become the happiest version of themselves in and out of the dance studio.

Everything I do is based on my 3-step Build, Believe, Become framework to help young people to let go of comparison and become the happiest version of themselves in and out of the dance studio.

This includes:

  • Workshops for dance, drama and theatre schools These compliment your child’s regular classes to help them to grow in self-confidence. They are fast-paced and interactive. With group work, movement, mindfulness and most importantly, fun! 
  • Mindful Movement classes – Combining dance, movement and self-confidence building. These are fun and interactive group classes that expand on the workshops and run for a set number of weeks.
  • 1:1 coaching online – Combining creativity and coaching techniques to deliver fun and engaging sessions that help your child to build their confidence in a one to one setting rather than in a group.

By working with me, your child will

  • Know how to harness their inner self-confidence.
  • Stop unfairly comparing themselves to their classmates. 
  • Decrease exam nerves and stress.
  • Feel less anxious in new situations. 
  • Become the person and the dancer they dream of being. 

AND OUTSIDE THE DANCE STUDIO…

  • Feel happier all around.
  • Stop comparing themselves to others.
  • Grow in self-esteem and self-confidence.
  • Improve relationships and friendships.

According to The Prince’s Trust, Tesco Youth Index 2021, 50% of young people said their mental health has worsened since the start of the pandemic. Let’s change that!

About me

KELLY RAE PARKER

After being told at 16 that I was too old for a career in dance, I went on to dance professionally and eventually run and teach at my own dance school specialising in ballet, tap and modern. Whilst teaching dance, I realised my passion for helping young people to grow in self-confidence, overcome shyness and start to believe in themselves. I passed my dance school on at the end of 2020 to become a qualified student life coach, specialising in helping young people to grow in self-confidence so that they can feel happier and less anxious. I still teach ISTD and RAD dance classes and am now blending movement, acting and traditional coaching to revolutionise confidence and emotional health support for dancers, so that they can grow in self-confidence, let go of comparison and become the happiest version of themselves both inside and outside the dance studio. I believe that you are far more capable than you think, you might just sometimes need a little help.

Your child has everything they need to succeed inside them, let's help them to bring it out.
