Ever notice how we use the word "beginner" to mean different things? In this episode, we break down 5 distinct ways it shows up in the ballet world:

1) Starting ballet for the first time as an adult

2) Taking beginner-level classes

3) Having a beginner's mindset (staying curious)

4) Feeling like a beginner (even when you're not)

5) Beginning again after a break

We explore why this deceptively simple word causes so much confusion and offer guidance to help you navigate your place in ballet. Plus, we uncover an intriguing paradox: Why do some fundamentals actually get harder as we advance?

Finally, we examine when the "beginner" label serves us and when it holds us back. 🩰
