“This program has honestly helped change my life. 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 Athletic Dance Company was a big part in the process.”

Mentorship 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 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 Mentorship 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.
-
Mentorship 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.
-
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 Mentorship 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.
