ALIGN MVMT
whAT IS ALIGN MVMT?
ALIGN MVMT is a holistic day ballet training program designed to develop the whole dancer- mind, body, and spirit. Powered by Kaitlyn McDermitt’s mindset-based coaching company, Confidance, this program blends technical ballet instruction with powerful mental training to create lasting transformation.
MISSION STATEMENT
At ALIGN MVMT, our mission is to train and empower dancers to align with their highest potential. We believe true growth begins with alignment: in posture, in purpose, and in how we show up for our craft and our lives. ALIGN MVMT will focus on building technically strong, mentally grounded, and energetically magnetic artists who command attention not just with skill, but with presence. We promise to set our dancers up for success, not matter what route their journey takes them.
WHY ALIGN?
In ballet, we must be physically aligned to execute movement safely and beautifully.
In life, we must align our actions with our goals to create real transformation.
ALIGN MVMT teaches dancers to live with intention, connect with purpose, and train with clarity.

WHAT WE OFFER
Training will start with an Intermediate/Advanced Ballet class followed by a rotation of classes such as, Pointe, Pre-Pointe, Contemporary, a version of Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), Strength Training, Stretch, Pilates and more. Our program will include guest artists and speakers to inspire and educate, along with mindset coaching rooted in the Confidance philosophy to build confidence, resilience, and mental clarity both in and out of the studio. In the bigger picture, we aim to bring in experts on topics like injury prevention, nutrition, and overall dancer wellness.
WHY MVMT?
Mindset and Vision Create Meaningful Transformation. This is not just another dance class. MVMT is a focused training experience designed to help dancers move with purpose. MVMT is part of a growing movement in the dance world to train smarter, not just harder, and to take better care of our dancers from the inside out.
