What dancers are saying.

  • “Doing this course with Hayley has not only opened up so many new outlooks on life but has also given me so much motivation and excitement to chase my dream. Hayley is so passionate about what she does and it shows - Hayley truly pushes you to be the best version of yourself. My mindset since doing Hayley’s program has grown so much stronger and with the tools Hayley provides she makes it smooth sailing but also pushes you beyond what you thought you were capable of. After coming out of full time I was stuck and had no clue where to pick myself back up from and since doing Hayley’s mentorship program it has sparked a whole new passion for my career that I didn’t think I had. I recommend this program to someone who is truly ready to take their career to the next level!”

  • “Athletic Dance Company is so much more than a business- it’s a dance community where everyone is given the tools to thrive. Hayley’s commitment to her craft is unparalleled. Her unwavering support has helped me gain confidence in myself as a person and athlete and helped put my dreams within arms reach. As well as physical changes from the program, I have cultivated a mindset of worthiness as a dancer and have never felt so supported and understood. I recommend this program to anyone wanting to take the next step in their dance journey, it’s the best thing I could’ve done for myself.”

    — Ruby Winters

  • I’ve LOVED my experience with ADC. Hayley has taught me so much from nutrition, to gym technique, what to do in the gym so that I can benefit during my dancing. she pushes me and holds me accountable for things that i wouldn’t do on my own. She’s the go-to because she’s been through what we’re going through. I now feel so much more confident in the things I do at the gym, I’m clearer on my long term goals, and I feel I train with a purpose now more than ever. I couldn’t recommend Hayley and the ADC program enough.”

    -Lana Sciberras

  • “ADC has assisted in specifying my dance goals and guided me with ways to take action and pursue them. Hayley has challenged me to try things I wouldn’t try myself, which has boosted my confidence and make me work hard for the outcome I want. I feel more confident and organised going into auditions, and feel prepared for any outcome! I have improved dramatically in the gym and feel I am training with a purpose now, rather than just doing pointless exercises.”

    -Kaitlin Evans

  • I can’t express enough how transformative my experience has been with Hayley. At the beginning of this year, I had lost my love and motivation for the gym and for dancing, and she changed all of that. From day one, it was clear that Hayley not only teaches from her personal experience but continues to keep up to date with the latest academic papers being published about the gym, dancing and well-being. She always tells me what I need to hear, supports me and pushes me beyond where I thought was possible and I honestly don’t think I could’ve got to where I am now without ADC. I recommend Hayley to anyone all the way from dancers who have never touched a weight before to experienced gym-goers.

    -Grace Alston

  • "This program has helped me so much not just as a dancer but helped me to grow as a person as well. Before I came across this program I felt lost and not sure how to achieve my dream of becoming a dancer and performer. Since joining ADC and having Hayley as a mentor, I have been given all the tools needed to achieve a dance career. I have pushed myself harder than I thought I ever could physically and mentally throughout this program, and I have Hayley to thank for all the support and encouragement to help me every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend Hayley more, she really knows what she’s doing and is so passionate to help other dancers achieve their dreams."

    -Hannah Gascoigne

  • "When I came out of full time, I was stuck. I didn’t know how to continue my journey. I was exercising, going to the gym but I didn’t have a structured plan and I didn’t know if what I was doing was actually supporting my dancing and if I was pushing myself to what I was capable of. I was so confused with everything I was doing and was starting to lose passion for dance. When I came upon this program, it has changed my life completely. Hayley is such a great mentor and is so passionate about what she does. She will give you the tools that you need for your dance career and she pushes you to be the best version of yourself. Joining this program was the best thing I ever did. I’m so grateful for everything Hayley has done."

    -Laura Spangher

  • "Working in this program has given me enormous amounts of confidence and motivation, after finishing full time I felt lost, I didn’t know where to go or what to do. I know what my end ultimate goal is but had no idea how to get there. When finding Hayley’s mentorship program I knew that I had to do it I had to partake to get even closer to my dream and to feel confident in myself as a performer. This program has taught me about nutrition and now I have found a love for trying new and healthy options, I have found consistency and motivation. I feel like I can push myself each day to be better and know my limits, I have found areas of strength and areas of weakness to focus on improving and maintaining. I am feeling confident as a performer and as my own individual person."

    -Savannah Edwards

  • “Hayley knows what she’s talking about and this program has honestly helped change my life. I was stuck in the in between zone of wanting a contract but not quite getting it. This program has not only helped change the way I train but the way I focus and condition my mind for this competitive industry. I have now recently secured an 11 month dance contract abroad and the Athletic Dance Company was a big part in the process. From the actual workouts themselves to the pre-audition meditation, Hayley gives us all the tools in order to achieve success. I look forward to continuing this program during my contract and working with Hayley to personalise and adapt it to what my body needs on a professional contract.”

    -Kaylah Abbott

  • “I can not recommend this program enough. This program has really helped me strengthen my dancing in the studio and when performing, just because of how much the exercises really relate to dancers and how much of it is tailored to helping dancers improve their performance. It has really helped me with my confidence as well, I really felt the difference and the benefit that this program gave me when I am performing.”

    -Chavonne Burgin

  • "I have been LOVING the Athletic Dance Mentorship Program. It's been so rewarding to see the progress from week to week and I feel like l'm getting closer and closer to my goals. IMO the mindfulness and goal setting resources have been the highlight. It's a little confronting & but also super necessary. And Hayley goes above and beyond to listen and provide opportunities like filming showreel content and partnerwork, ontop of weekly check ins to keep you accountable."

    -Iluka Nally

  • "I felt a new sense of purpose as soon as I began training with Hayley. The program allowed me to reclaim myself as a dancer and find my feet again. I'm so grateful to Athletic Dance Company for its guidance and support system. Hayley's valuable knowledge has helped me to better myself as both an artist and person. For any dancer out there consider training with Athletic Dance Company, there's so much to gain, and I could not recommend the program enough."

    -Ilaria Brigitte

  • “The training has impacted my dancing as I now take a more holistic approach. The mindset, combined with the nutrition combined with the strength training, to get the best performance possible. I now have more stability in turns, more height in jumps. My relationship with food has changed also, I focus on what I am fuelling myself with to get the best performance. One word of advice to anyone thinking about training with ADC would be to do it! If you’re thinking of giving it a go, give it a go!”

    -Annie Stojkovski

  • “When I started going to the gym, I had no idea what I was doing or what to train specifically that would benefit me as a dancer. Also being out of fulltime dance training, I was feeling a bit lost and lacked motivation mentally to keep training which is where Hayley's amazing support pushes your mindset to never give up and be proud of who you are and how far you've come. After training under Athletic Dance Company I feel the strongest I've ever felt in the gym and in the studio. Hayley has been through it all! She understands what it's like trying to work around a busy dance schedule, the highs and lows of the industry and booking your dream job. She wants what's best for you and is your biggest cheerleader in becoming hireable.”

    -Steph Griffin

  • “This program has taught me so much about nutrition, training, and dance. We use so much energy throughout the day and require so much attention the type of food that goes into our bodies. Through Hayley’s guidance, resources and educational videos, I can truly say I have improved my relationship with food, and can see a difference in my energy levels, my mental health, and overall improvement in my confidence in dance. The training program has allowed me to focus on exactly what I need to improve on in terms of my dance training and allowed me to get fit & toned whilst still remaining flexible & motivated. The last 12 weeks have truly changed my life and I can’t wait to continue to see my progress and results! Hayley truly focuses on making sure we achieve both our training goals and dream careers and I could not have asked for a better mentor to guide me through it!”
