Kendall Baab is a personal trainer for dancers and dance science educator based in Los Angeles. I met Kendall online actually and I totally aligned with her philosophies. Her business, BodyKinect, has made dance science education accessible for dancers and dance educators - which is so incredibly important. We chat about:

• Our shared experiences of being on Texas drill teams
• The biggest challenges dancers face when training - both physically and mentally
• How social media can lead to injury and perfectionism
• The importance of body autonomy and self advocacy
