About this listen

This podcast episode explores why taking a break from dance can be valuable for growth and mental clarity. Priscilla shares her personal experience of stepping back from consistent dance training when she found herself losing sight of her decision to dance. By intentionally reducing her time in class, she was able to break negative thought patterns, rebuild self-confidence, eliminate unhealthy comparison habits, and reconnect with her core purpose: the genuine love of learning and growing as a dancer. Priscilla emphasizes that taking breaks can offer mental benefits that aren't often discussed in the dance community, and she encourages dancers to view unexpected circumstances or intentional pauses not as setbacks but as opportunities for perspective, self-discovery, and ultimately becoming more authentic artists.
