Since working with Lili, I have been enjoying dancing and performing again because the most nagging pains and struggles I had before have basically disappeared. I feel better equipped to deal with struggles in life (and dance) when they come my way. I feel hopeful, like even though I am getting "older" it's not necessarily a disadvantage for me anymore.

YEARS IN BUSINESS HELPING DANCERS
Professional dancer, certified personal trainer, exercise specialist & nutrition coach
Meet your new coach: Lili Pfeifer
I want you to know you can build your dreams, yes, even the "impossible" ones. I know this is true because becoming a professional dancer wasn't ever on the cards for me for me. I was on my way to becoming a doctor instead! The problem was, my heart was being pulled in another direction. I needed to dance with every fiber of my being. So I didn't go to the medical school I'd been accepted into and instead started chasing my dancing dreams.
It wasn't easy, I had to unlearn a lot of false information and negativity the arts industry shared with me. I studied and became certified in nutrition, personal training and corrective exercise. As this knowledge unlocked for me and I saw my dancing improve dramatically I knew I couldn't keep it all to myself. So I started The Barbell Ballerina for dancers just like you.
Now, it's my mission to help you experience excellence in its purest form. To not only achieve but maintain career success by nurturing mind, body, and soul. To dance pain free. To embrace food freedom. To realize your wildest dreams are at your fingertips with the right strategy and mindset. To pursue your vision fearlessly.
