Become a Dance Mom Expert
Imagine this...
Your dancer performs their solo. They nail the technique, the choreography is beautiful, but something’s missing. Their face is blank, their expressions don’t match the music, and the connection with the judges and audience falls flat. They come offstage disappointed, and you feel helpless. You’ve invested so much time, money, and emotion into their dance training, but their performance is being held back by something that’s entirely fixable: their facial expressions.
- ✨ Frustration: Same disappointing results despite your efforts.
- 😟 Worry: Are they reaching their full potential? Are they happy?
- 😔 Missed Opportunities: Improved expressions = better scores & performances.
Watch this mini-episode to get a taste of what it’s like inside the Lab.
In this exclusive episode, I’m breaking down what it really means to practice like a winner—not just drilling the steps, but owning your choices, showing up with purpose, and training your mindset to match your movements.
Whether you join the Lab or not, this quick session is packed with takeaways to help you finish the season stronger than ever. 💥

Let Me Tell You A Story About Isabella...
Her Mom reached out to me because something just wasn't clicking with her new solo. Normally a bright, smiley kid, this particular piece of music felt foreign and strange, and it was affecting her whole attitude toward the dance. Her parents were worried – was it a bad fit? Was their daughter losing her love for dance? They knew Isabella had incredible potential, and they wanted to support her, but they weren't sure how. They'd worked with me in the past, so they reached out again, hoping I could help Isabella find her connection to the music and rediscover her joy. They wanted to empower her, to see her shine again.
Now, Isabella is thriving. She's excited, confident, and looking forward to competition. Her parents are no longer worried or stressed about whether she's doing her best. They know she is. We've addressed the initial disconnect she felt with the music, and she's not just performing the dance; she's embodying it. And I kid you not, we saw significant progress in just one weekend!
Beyond the dance itself, Isabella's growth has been remarkable. She's navigating the usual studio challenges with grace and resilience. She's not phased by the little dramas that can sometimes arise; she's focused on her own journey and her own goals. She's empowered.
And the best part? Isabella's relationship with her parents has grown even stronger. They worked on this together, understanding the goals and celebrating her progress. They're more connected, less stressed, and more organized in supporting her dance dreams. They're empowered to advocate for her success, even when faced with outside noise or less-than-ideal advice. They've become her biggest champions, her heroes. And I was just the guide.
Stop the constant fear of not doing enough for your child and finally wrap your arms around a complete system for launching their dreams this season.

What is Performance Coaching?
Meet Brittany
Brittany was just a small-town girl from Devils Lake, ND who moved to the city to work professionally as a dancer. She graduated from Oklahoma City University in 2013 and spent the last 11 years as a national dance judge, award winning educator, and professional dancer at Walt Disney World. Brittany understands that no one dancer follows the same journey to success but needs a path mapped out for them to discover their true importance and unique strengths. She travels the world studying dance from all areas and as a small-town girl herself, is passionate about bringing big city opportunities to small-town artists.
“It is my mission to give back what I’ve learned to be successful and find fame to lonely but desirous, small-town dancers. I know how it feels to be left in the dust and feel like you’ll always be at a disadvantage because of where we come from. Being proud of my home and upbringing, I need to show other dancers they can, too. By surpassing their geographical limitations, they can receive equal opportunities as dancers from the cities. I feel the parents’ apprehension to invest fully in their child’s dancing because it’s an unknown and unsupported activity in their community. I understand the child’s hesitation to set their goals too high because they are afraid dancing will always be a pipedream. They stay awake at night with the constant anxiety they will not live up to what big city dancers are capable of. I can picture these dancers embarrassed to get overlooked time and time again when they really have the potential to hold their own against the big city competitors. They give up soon as this guessing game is exhausted and feels like a never-ending feat.
Which is why I am inviting you to launch your dreams: where the true-hearted talent rises to the top… not just the people with the advantage.
These dancers reach new heights they never could have thought possible! The parent gets to be a part of their process as their number one front runner; just as my mom was (and still is) for me.” – Brittany Noltimier
Who Is The Lab Not For?
-
Dancers who don’t want to do anything extra outside the studio
If you think you can sit back and do nothing and still expect the same results, you are wrong. This program requires work and self-development to really take it to the next level. After you’ve completed the program, you won’t have to work as hard or as long with each routine, but the work must be put in now.
If you are too afraid or lazy to put in the work, you will not see any results and this is NOT the program for you. -
Excuse People
If you are the type of person who makes excuses or blames others for your mistakes. Those who don’t take responsibility for their actions or success will not do well in this program. If you find yourself saying, “it’s too hard for me… I can’t achieve… can’t do that because of blah blah blah… I can’t get the same level of success” then this is not for you.
-
Moms who want it… but your child does NOT.
If you’re a mom that wants to see your child transform but your child is not in the game… then this is not for you.
-
Dancers Afraid To Surpass Their Team
If you do not want to surpass your team and take on more responsibility as leader on your team then this is not for you. With this Blueprint to success, your confidence will increase and you’ll want to share your knowledge with your friends. If you are afraid of what they might think… then you might want to stay right where you are.
-
Too Afraid Of What Your Friends Might Think
If you are too afraid your friends will judge you for working hard and learning more, this is not the right process for you.

FAQ’s
What are you waiting for?
