"Kirsten taught a workshop for our students and teachers this February, and it was incredible! Everyone was inspired and challenged by her classes and especially her seminar on confidence. She gave tangible tools to help better prepare both our students and teachers achieve their goals. Kirsten has a way of combining both her personal dance experience along with her coach training which sheds a new light on a dancer's world. We are grateful for her time and look forward to having her back!"
- Bethany Sleebos, Owner of Suzanne's School of Dance
"Kirsten gave a workshop for our summer intensive students that was informative, relatable, and inspiring! Her background in dance created trust with the students immediately – they knew that she understood the challenges of dance training and performance. That trust was a great foundation for her to share her expertise in neurolinguistic programming and mindset coaching. We would be happy to have her back to speak with our students again!"
- Catherine Roe, Educational Programs Manager at Texas Ballet Theater School
“The Point Park community is so grateful to have connected with mindset coach, Kirsten! Her lectures were informative, conversational and above all, fun. Kirsten led an in-depth conversation about healthy mental habits and reframing your perspective. Her kindness could be felt virtually, near or far. We are already looking forward to another session!”
- Heidi Ward, Director of Community & Summer Education at Point Park University

How long are the seminars?
Are the seminars hosted in person or virtually?
What are the fees?
What demographic are these seminars best suited for?
Do you offer follow up resources for dancers to utilize after the talk?
Depending on the schedule of your program, seminars are 60-90 minutes long. Seminars may be presented once to a large group, several times within the same day to multiple smaller groups, or a multi-day residency option is available to be able to facilitate new mindset seminars each day that are based off a curriculum that builds upon itself for maximum benefit to the dancers.

Do you offer follow up resources for dancers to utilize after the talk?
Either, depending on what makes the most sense for your program and budget! I am located in Austin, Texas in the United States and have spoken in-person to groups of dancers not only in my local area, but in locations as far as Alaska, Mexico City, and Estonia. That being said, many schools or companies value the time and cost efficiency of virtual seminars, so hosting a virtual seminar over zoom works beautifully, even for a program that is being held exclusively in person.

Once you inquire via email or by setting up a time to talk via the link below, I will send a proposal via email after considering the factors of the location, how many seminars you would like for me to present, and whether or not the topic is new or a subject I have already presented on before.
Possibility for subsidy of seminar costs: I have relationships with several dancewear brands who can potentially sponsor the costs of hosting a mindset seminar either in part or in full in return for a brief mention before and after each seminar. To discuss this funding option, please inquire.

Yes, depending on what subject I am speaking on, I will send you a downloadable PDF that can be easily emailed out to the dancers after the seminar.
