Professional Ballet Dancer  |  “No matter how much you practice ballet, you’ll never be perfect. But that’s the beauty in it.”
Listen, we can almost guarantee you won’t regret hitting “plié” on this episode. Ben recently had the chance to pick the brain of professional ballerina, Jessy Dick! Jessy is part of The Washington Ballet company and has literally been doing pirouettes since she could walk. Long story short, she knows a thing or two about ballet, and the practice insights Jessy shares with Ben in this episode are right on pointe.
Jessy dances us through why…

• Practice fuels freedom not just in ballet, but in any job
• When we teach or coach someone else, we’re experience next-level practice ourselves
• Even the best-of the-best ballerinas are constantly honing their skills 
• Performing artists—like dancers—don’t always have their mojo, but practice lets them shine regardless 

To learn more about Jessy, you can follow her on Instagram @jessydeee_ or follow her ballet company, The Washington Ballet, at @thewashingtonballet.
