Mentor Consultation
Our second offering of video consultation with a mentor is available when you have submitted at least one video through our Video Evaluation and Feedback process. In this second part of our program, we are offering professional dancer consultation through a 25 minute Zoom conversation. This is a rare opportunity to ask the questions of the pros to help you understand how to move towards your goals. We hope you find our consultations helpful and supportive to your journey, as we become more able to guide you as we get to know you!
Every dancer is unique and so faces unique challenges. This is where the value of mentorship really shines. In our own dance careers, we have often found that conversations with our own mentors have impacted our dance identities in ways that continue to help us throughout our lives. Many of the shared insights from our mentors come from some of dance’s true legends and icons.
With your Mentor Consultation request, please send us any questions you would like to have answered, so we can be as prepared to answer your questions as possible! In this collaborative process, we will explore how your intentions for your dance life can possibly be fine-tuned to match your practice.
The Steps:
When you submit your Mentor Consultation request, please include the name of the dancer, date of your Video Evaluation submission, and your questions or subjects you would like to talk about with your mentor(s) and days/times you are available. Please feel free to record these sessions as references to mark where we begin and how we are progressing.
Within 3 business days, we will let you know if we can accommodate your available days/times. If we are not available during those times, we will offer alternatives.
Request a 25 minute, Zoom consultation with one of the mentors who reviewed your video.
Schedule a 25 minute follow-up, Zoom consultation within 30 days of the initial consultation. By this point, our mentor(s) will have a better idea of who you are as a dancer, and we will be better able to help you in your individual goals!
Although we take great care in matching mentors to mentees, we also acknowledge that every matching may not work. If you find that your connection to your mentor is not meeting your needs, you may request another Video Evaluation and Feedback and/or Mentor Consultation with another mentor. Although we do not assign specific mentors on request, please let us know what did and did not work for you in the process, and we will take that into consideration.
