Mindset & Performance Coaching for Dancers
Strong body, stronger mind to excel in dance!
‘Mindset first’ approach to minimize negative experiences, lessen the impact of failures, and develop the confidence to excel competitively and enjoy the dance life.
Are you as a dancer's parent experiencing this?
Do you see the negative effects societal distractions are having on our young dancers?
Does it make it worse that the pressures to perform and find success is higher than ever before?
You know all too well the anxiety of watching your dancer struggle to perform, even though you know they have the talent to do so.
You are here because you recognize that no matter how much you invest in individual training, camps, and more games, there continues to be challenges your dancer isn't yet equipped to handle.
If you are like us, you are seeing technology & social media use have lasting negative effects on our youth.
Parents, educators & coaches are continuing to see a loss of focus, addictive behaviors, negative attitudes, and the development of bad habits.
You know that these habits along with the pressures to succeed will drive your dancer in the wrong direction if they haven't already.

Founder & Coach
My name is Karem Mieses, and I have been a Productivity Expert for corporations for more than two decades. Nonetheless, my passion has always been DANCE!
This passion made me focus on fitness back in 2012 when I had to work very hard on my mindset to raise 3 boys (back then ages 3, 15 months, and a newborn).
A year later, I amass the tools to not only strengthen my mindset and love my body but I created a system that was helping me help others do the same. In 2014, I got certified as a personal trainer under ACE and as a Strategic Life Coach under CTAA. Also, became part of the P90X pro team which allowed me to help athletes and dancers bring their performance levels to higher grounds.
It was at that point that this thought hit me “WOW, If I would only have had this mental toughness when I was a teenager dancing…” Looking at my P90X Master Coach during a train the trainer session, I told him “If I have had someone like you when I was dancing, how different my life would/ve been…”
To which he said, “maybe that’s why you are here now, have you thought about that” … The precursor of Dancer Mindset (FitFunThrive) was born at the end of 2014 to help regular people become athletes.
Needless to say, it was not until I started teaching dance again in 2016 and helping my sister with her dance studio that I embrace my role as a Mindset Coach. Just Dancers!
Then, in 2021 as I got closely involved with the coaching and preparation of dancers for the Universal Ballet Competition that a burning desire sparked to help young dancers improve their performance by building their confidence.
And DancerMindset was born to partner with parents in assisting their young and evolving dancers to minimize negative experiences, lessen the impact of failures, and develop confidence by empowering the MINDSET.
Are you ready to see your dancer achieve at higher standards - like never before - because they believe in their potential confidently? Imagine her/him translating that potential and confidence into every aspect of their life …
What does Dancer Mindset Coaching for Peak Performance include?
