The Heart of Dance with Kayla Mak, Teen Dance Prodigy

In today's episode, I speak with Kayla Mack. She's an amazing teenager with a passion for dance. You might have seen her on world of dance where she lit up the stage and impressed JLo and made it to the finals.

Kayla's won many competitions including the HOPE award at YAGP, one of the most prestigious ballet competitions in the world. She also starred as Clara at Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

We talk about her experience shooting a now gone viral “Teen Ballerina's Daily Routine 1 Week Before a Show | Teen Vogue”, and the process and details about winning her place on The World of Dance.

We talk about what keeps her going through the grueling schedule of being a pre-professional dancer at an advanced level, and how so many mentors have helped her along the way including her teacher, Kelly Burke from the Westchester Dance Academy.

She talks to me about her amazingly supportive family and circle of friends.

What really impresses me about Kayla is her natural resilient voice that she uses with herself to cheer herself on, and her insane work habits. Talk about grit to persevere and the courage to try things she’s often scared to do!

I can see why so many people have mentored Kayla because she has the qualities of curiosity, eagerness to learn, and cheerfulness that any teacher or mentor would want to be around.

Kayla is also an incredibly grateful person who truly feels a bond with all the teachers and friends who have helped her along the way.

This was recorded during quarantine and there were audio issues which I was able to rescue with new software. Find out more about Kayla and links to all her videos and website HERE!
