Winter Workshop 2 with Dr. Quinn: Utilizing a Growth Mindset to Overcome Barriers to Performance in Dance Class and Beyond

This workshop will tackle negative core beliefs dancers might have about themselves and establish the necessary components for a growth mindset (the mindset that most things can be accomplished and challenges overcome through hard work, resilience, and tenacity). Dr. Quinn will provide specific strategies dancers can practice within session when negative thoughts arise and provide suggestions and strategies for use during class. Principles in this workshop will be utilized from the field of Applied Behavior Analysis and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Students will be provided activities, worksheets, and an open forum to discuss challenges within a safe space.
