The Ballet Teacher’s NLP Survival Guide: Mind Games Behind the Barre

Summary

Behind every graceful pirouette is a ballet teacher silently questioning their life choices—and probably wishing for a timeout from reality. The Ballet Teacher’s NLP Survival Guide is your backstage pass to mastering the mental chaos lurking beneath the tulle and toe shoes.

This isn’t your typical feel-good teaching manual. It’s packed with sharp, practical NLP techniques wrapped in ballet jargon and just enough dark humor to keep you sane while dealing with students who think “assemblé” is a fashion statement and not a step.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Build instant rapport without losing your mind
• Deliver feedback so precise it hurts (but in a good way)
• Reprogram the “I can’t” chorus into “Watch me”
• Tame stage fright without resorting to hiding behind the curtains
• Model calm and confidence even when your hip flexors scream for mercy

If you’ve ever wanted to pirouette right out of the studio (but didn’t because, well, responsibilities), this book is your mental barre—steady, supportive, and ready to help you survive and thrive in the wonderfully exhausting world of ballet teaching.
