Episode Title: Mind Over Movement: The Mental Game of DanceSport
Host: Kelsey Kizina
🌐 Website: BallroomDanceCoach.com
📍 Based in Pittsburgh, PA | Virtual coaching available
In this deeply motivating and honest episode, Kelsey Kizina—award-winning ballroom coach and choreographer—tackles one of the most overlooked elements in competitive dance: the mental game.
We train for technique. We focus on choreography. We obsess over costumes and placement. But what about mindset? Confidence? Resilience under pressure?
Whether you're a kid preparing for your first competition, an adult rediscovering dance, or a seasoned athlete pushing to break through, this episode is for you.
Kelsey shares personal stories from the competition floor, practical mental training strategies, and tools she uses with her students every week to help dancers not only perform—but perform with confidence, clarity, and composure.
🧠 Why your mindset is your most important dance partner
🎯 What mental training actually looks like—and how to start
📖 A true story of falling mid-Samba in front of the judges (and what happened next)
💪 How to build confidence, not just wait for it
📝 Five practical tools to develop your mental strength
💬 How to reframe mistakes and train under pressure
🌱 Why progress—not perfection—is the goal
❤️ A heartfelt message for adult dancers managing life and nerves
🎯 How private coaching supports the full dancer—mind and body
“The most powerful part of your dancing isn’t your feet—it’s your mindset.”
“Confidence isn’t magic—it’s trained. Quietly. Steadily. Every time you show up.”
“The floor doesn’t define you. It reflects you.”
If you're ready to build not just your technique, but your total performance mindset, private coaching with Kelsey is available for dancers of all ages and levels. No partner needed. Just the willingness to grow.
