Why Dancers Choose The Competitive Edge

Competitive dancers face constant evaluation, comparison, and pressure to be perfect — often while balancing demanding schedules, academics, and social dynamics.

Through mentor-coaching, dancers learn how to:

  • Build unshakable confidence without relying on external validation
  • Regulate emotions before auditions, competitions, and performances
  • Navigate comparison, feedback, and team dynamics with maturity
  • Strengthen focus, resilience, and leadership
  • Carry discipline and self-trust into school, relationships, and life

This Program Is Designed For:

  • Highly Motivated Dancers
  • Perfectionists
  • Leaders
  • Emotionally Sensitive Performers
  • Dancers Navigating Pressure & Expectations
  • Students Balancing Intense Schedules
  • Dancers Preparing for Auditions, Competitions, or Transitions

This is not about something being “wrong.”

It’s about helping already capable dancers build the confidence and resilience needed to thrive long-term.

Why Dancers Need Mental Resilience Training

Competitive dance is one of the most emotionally demanding environments young women can experience.

Behind the performances, many dancers quietly navigate:

  • Perfectionism
  • Comparison
  • Fear of Failure
  • Performance Pressure
  • Social Dynamics
  • Identity Tied to Achievement

Just as dancers strengthen their technique through training, many high-performing students are now strengthening the mindset behind their performance through mentor-coaching.

Over the past year, I have found Positive Presence to be an incredibly valuable resource in my teenager's life. Our coach, Jerusalem, has been an inspiration to my son, encouraging him to be the best version of himself. Jerusalem's positivity, understanding, and attentive listening have made her an excellent source of guidance in helping my son navigate his challenges and fears as a teenager. Thanks to her coaching perspective, my son has received valuable insights into managing his mixed identity, and I cannot overstate how much of a positive impact this has had on both his life and mine. In fact, my son found Positive Presence's coaching method to be even more effective than therapy! It has helped him manage stress more efficiently and become more connected with himself. I am grateful to the team at Positive Presence for their support in answering my coaching and billing inquiries. Their prompt assistance has been invaluable, and I thank them for their dedication.

As former employee of Positive Presence, I can truly say the impact Michelle and her team have on their students is LIFE CHANGING AND LIFE SAVING. Michelle and her team are reliable, honest, positive, solution-oriented, collaborative, and are readily available to support each student and their family with anything they need. The impact of Positive Presence extends beyond their students and their families and even changes the lives of those who work within the team. I am forever indebted to Michelle and the PPG team for welcoming me with open arms and providing me a wealth of knowledge to lead a more positive life. Every single student is a top priority and their individual journey towards their best selves is honored and celebrated at Positive Presence. If you or someone you know is curious or ready to open your heart and mind to this unique, transformative journey, please reach out to Michelle and her team! There is a place for EVERYONE in this community of love, support, and positivity!!

This is an incredible resource for anyone with young adult kids who are struggling to find ways to cope with the stress of a transition (e.g. high school/college graduation), anxiety, depression or any other challenge where they could benefit from having someone help them navigate tough situations. Michelle has created a safe place for kids (and parents) to work through issues and challenges by giving them tools to cope with stress, understand triggers, set goals, and be accountable for the outcomes they want to achieve. Both of our daughters are benefitting greatly from the tools and coaching provided by PP. The coaches are able to create and incredibly strong personal relationships and also challenge and mentor kids to grow and develop life skills. The positive benefits for our daughters and our family have been remarkable and we are grateful for the genuine loving commitment of Michelle and the PP team.

Michelle has worked with my daughter for the last year and a half. I actually had my daughter start working with her to build her self esteem and self confidence. I can tell you from the beginning I knew it would not be easy as she does has been through a lot and does not trust easily, but Michelle and her wonderful staff that she has chosen to be part of her company have each been able to break through the tough walls my daughter has built up in different ways. I know my daughter has a ways to go, but as far as I am concerned, she has come so far!!! I cannot say enough positive about Michelle and Positive Presence! She and everyone that works for her are the epitome of her brand and I will always be appreciative of all she has done and continues to do for us as a family through working with my daughter!

I recommend positive presence 100%! Thea has helped my teenage daughter get through some very hard obstacles in her life and it has eased my mind knowing my daughter feels like she always has someone to turn to. They have also helped me through a very hard situation and continue trying to help. I truly feel like a part of their family!

We were very skeptical when we started with PP, seemed almost too good to be true. The more times we met with Michelle and her team members, the more we realized they are as genuine and honest and as caring as they seem! I truly cannot think of anything negative we have encountered.

Michelle Marie King has been a godsend to me and my daughter. Every session that she has with her, I’ve noticed how recharged she is. Ready to take on the world. My daughter is 18 and is excited about her next chapter in life. Michelle has helped her with life challenges, and is always there for both me and my daughter. Thank you Michelle. We both love you very much!

Meet Michelle Marie King

Founder & CEO of Positive Presence Global

Author | Mentor-Coach | Dance Parent

As both the founder of Positive Presence Global and a longtime competitive dance parent, I’ve had the privilege of watching young dancers grow into disciplined, driven, and incredibly capable young women. I’ve also seen firsthand the pressure many dancers quietly carry behind the scenes — the pressure to perform, compare, and constantly push themselves to meet high expectations.

For more than a decade, I’ve dedicated my life to helping teens and young adults build the confidence, emotional resilience, and self-worth needed to thrive in today’s world. What began as one-on-one mentorship has grown into the largest mentor-coaching organization for teens and young adults in the country, supporting thousands of students nationwide.

At Positive Presence, we believe emotional strength is just as important as physical training — especially for high-performing students navigating competitive environments like dance.

The Competitive Edge Series™ was created to help dancers strengthen the mindset behind their performance so they can thrive not only on stage, but in school, relationships, and life beyond dance.

I’m honored to partner with dance communities to help support the whole dancer — mentally, emotionally, and personally — alongside the incredible technical training they already receive.

From a Parent

To Whom It May Concern,

We could not be happier with the results we have been seeing in our young adult. Positive Presence has helped not just our young adult, but our family. We have been able to move from “rules to relationship” with her. Positive Presence is the voice we needed to help her move into Adulting 101 and for us to move into having a healthier relationship with her. 

I am absolutely thrilled!

I see her thriving, smiling and laughing much more. She is developing an awareness of money management and budgeting. She is setting healthy boundaries for herself and towards others. She is becoming more balanced emotionally and mentally. Her coach has helped minimize our young adults feeling of being overwhelmed with a new life of adult responsibilities. She is providing our young adult with life skill tools on how to manage everyday life.   We could have said it all, but hearing it from a Positive Presence coach has been a game changer. Positive Presence is the objective voice that helps supports both client and family.

The Positive Presence coach is available to her and to me. I receive return calls or texts within a few hours. We work  together on helping our young adult be the best version of herself. Every penny spent has been a true investment with 100% return. 

Lastly, are so grateful to Positive Presence for skillfully matching up our young adult with her coach. It was a perfect fit. We see the caring relationship between the two of them. They were carefully paired and it shows.  

I understand the need for constructive criticism however, really, we have not had a bad experience from any aspect of Positive Presence. The coaching, the intake, the financial aspect has all run smoothly. We have nothing to critique and I do tell people about our positive experience with you. You have been a God sent!

Thank you, Positive Presence, for helping us launch our young adult out into the world with continue success. You are truly part of our village and we look forward to seeing what this new year brings.

Blessings,

Adrianne
