Is your once-excited dancer suddenly whining about going to class? Are they coming home tired, complaining, or glued to their phone? Before you think it’s time to pull them out of dance, listen to this week’s episode.

I’m diving into why motivation dips (especially in those tricky preteen years), what’s really going on with your child’s body and mind, and why they need dance now more than ever.

If you’ve ever wondered:
 👉 Is this just a phase?
 👉 Should I force them to keep going?
 👉 Is dance still good for them?

Then this is the episode for you.

Share this one with your dancer too — it might be exactly what they need to hear.
