Denise on the Dance Mama Podcast

I had so much fun joining Lucy McCrudden on the Dance Mama podcast—what a treat to talk about two of my greatest loves: dance and money mindset!
As someone who grew up dancing (and still pulls on a leotard whenever I can!), I loved the chance to chat about how dance has shaped my life—not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and even in business. These days, alongside running my business and raising three kids, I still fly the flag for ballet and proudly invest in creative projects like The Book Thief Musical.
In this episode, Lucy and I dive into the money blocks that so many dancers and creatives face—especially around pricing, self-worth, and charging for your talents. I shared some of the mindset shifts that can really help dancers (and anyone in the arts, really) move from scarcity to abundance.
We also talked about the joy of returning to dance recreationally as a busy working mum, and why it's never too late to reconnect with your body and your creativity. We touched on everything from representation of older women in dance to how we can better care for ourselves mentally and physically—so we can keep dancing for as long as we want.
Whether you're a professional dancer, a studio owner, or someone who hasn’t danced in years but still feels the pull—this conversation is full of encouragement, inspiration, and permission to claim joy, wealth, and movement in whatever way works for you.
