YOU'RE DOING EVERYTHING YOU WERE TOLD TO DO.
SO Why aren’t you making the cuts?
Let’s face it, if you’re not in the last round of auditions,
You’re not getting booked.
You might’ve spent years taking classes and working on technique,
Under the impression that’s what will bring you success as a dancer
And for some that is enough.
But we don’t count on it.
We rely on a holistic approach focused on becoming more than a dancer.
Training. Nutrition. Mindset.
A missing link in most dancers toolkit.
Skills we weren’t taught growing up.
Skills that actually strengthen you, in mind & body.
Skills that build athletes.
We build athletes.
We build athletic dancers.
You don't need to want it more.
You need to know what to work on.
We’ve worked with so many dancers that feel that this program is a slap across the face.
How shocking it is they weren’t taught how to strengthen their ranges, and how to bring that strength into their dance.
How shocking it is no-one taught them about the importance of seeing food as fuel for performance… (And how to actually structure a proper week of eating)
And how shocking it is none of their teachers or mentors actually taught them how to truly believe in themselves…
Not because they’re trying to fake some type of confidence.
But because they realise they’re actively doing the work that others are scared to even attempt.
And they realise that with the right support & well-practiced toolkit, you can in fact thrive in one of the world’s most physically and mentally demanding industries.
That’s what The Blueprint does.
There's a version of you that already exists, who walks into an audition room with confidence, books the job, and moves through the industry like they belong there.
That version of you is already in there.
You don’t need to force them out.
You need to build trust in them.
You need to get uncomfortable so they have an opportunity to start shining through.

💬 FAQ’s
-
The Blueprint is perfect for dancers who are ready to take their training and career seriously — especially if you’ve recently graduated from full-time dance and want to fast-track your progress.
It’s for you if you’re looking for structure, expert guidance, and someone in your corner who truly gets it. We’re here to cheer you on, keep you accountable, and remind you every day that you’re capable of more than you think.
If you’re ready to stop guessing, stay consistent, and have a coach who won’t let you quit on yourself — this is for you.
This would also work for:
Someone who has recently graduated from full time training
Someone who hasn’t done full time, but is a very confident dancer and is looking for some structured guidance from a professional
Someone who is currently in full time and wants to level up their progress
Someone who has completed full time a few years ago, and wants to reignite their flame

Both options include everything: personalised training, nutrition, and mindset coaching.
The only difference is these two additional inclusions in the In-person Mentorship:
Weekly gym sessions in Richmond, VIC
Access to our exclusive Showreel Filming Day.
Online Blueprint still provides 1:1 coaching contact time with Weekly Performance Calls — ideal for interstate or international dancers.
-
Absolutely. Many of our Mentorship clients work with us online from around Australia and overseas. You’ll receive the same level of personalised support and weekly contact via Zoom and our app.
-
If you're doing online Mentorship, access to a gym or basic equipment is highly recommended to get the most out of the program. We can tailor the plan based on what you have.
-
Our nutrition coaching is completely personalised — no cookie-cutter plans here. You’ll start with an in-depth questionnaire so we can understand your body, goals, training load, and history. From there, your coach will guide you with structured plans, meal ideas, and ongoing support to help you understand how to fuel your body for performance, recovery, and long-term health. It’s all about education, not restriction.
-
Every coach is fully equipped to guide you through the full Blueprint experience. You won’t miss out by choosing one over the other — but each coach brings their own style and lived experience, so we recommend picking the one you resonate with most. Not sure? We can help match you!
-
Mentorship starts from $65/week, with pricing depending on whether you choose online or in-person coaching, and whether you train 1:1 or in a small group.
Once you apply or book a discovery call, we’ll walk you through all the options so you can choose what works best for you.
-
The Blueprint is a minimum 12-week commitment so we can create meaningful progress in your strength, mindset, and career development. After that, many dancers choose to continue for ongoing support — but there’s no pressure.
-
The program runs initially for a 12 week minimum commitment.
After your first 12 weeks, you can choose to continue or stop at any time.
To cancel, email hayley@athleticdancecompany.com with at least 2 week’s notice before your next payment.
There are no refunds on past payments due to the nature of the coaching.
