About this episode


Hello Everyone! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lucas Lima who is a wonderful Principal Dancer of The Norweigan National Ballet as well as a wonderful teacher of The Academy. Lucas is a Brazilian Dancer, who recieved a place at The Royal Ballet School which changed hIs life forever. Despite being a dancer in school who didn't get injured, his mental strength was tested in his professional life.


He had not one but a few serious injuries. Despite this, Lucas has this amazing perspective on life, living with gratitude even with these hard lessons. it was wonderful to talk to him.


I hope this inspires you as it did me.
