After 24 years of chasing perfection in ballet, one night at a tiny social in England changed everything. What if the secret to dancing (and living) better was learning to let go completely?
In this deeply moving conversation, former ballerina turned bachata dancer,
@eva.bachata shares how 24 years of ballet trained her into perfectionism, conformity, and chronic self-judgment, and how discovering bachata rewired her relationship with her body, her art, and her life.
From the neuroscience of nervous system co-regulation to the spiritual experience of connection, Eva unpacks what it really means to dance (and live) from the inside out. We explore perfectionism, identity, creativity, the power of self-talk, and her beautiful new community projects like Inside Out and Bachata Sunrise in Barcelona.
Whether you’re a dancer who freezes when filmed or someone trapped in the pursuit of “good enough,” this episode is your permission slip to let go.
