SESSION WORKSHOPS!

Mental Performance Training – 2025-2026 Season

At NJADS, we’re incredibly proud of the transformative program we’ve built in partnership with Marc and JG. Their expertise in mental performance training has brought a powerful new dimension to our studio—helping dancers not only grow in technique, but also in mindset, discipline, and leadership.

This innovative program goes beyond choreography, equipping dancers with the tools to perform at their best in every aspect of life. From building habits of excellence to developing focus, resilience, and team culture, Marc and JG have helped us create something truly special—and we’re thrilled to offer it to our community.

J.G.  and Marc are all about getting people and groups to perform at their very best, not just in competition, but in all areas of life.   Meet J.G. and Marc here is a video to learn more about this Training Workshop!

Have you experienced the following:
– Falling short of your potential knowing you have more talent than you are showing?
– Struggling to achieve peak performance and/or perform in big moments?
– Inconsistent habits or a group culture that is not driving personal or group success?

We help performers create and sustain habits and a culture of excellence:

• The ELITE MINDSET to give yourself the best chance for success
• DISCIPLINE AND COMMITMENT to last all season
• The FOCUS AND AWARENESS needed to win every day
• The PROCESS OVER OUTCOME approach that gets results
• MENTAL IMAGERY as part of your training (as well as through injury and return from injury)
• Routines and HABITS OF EXCELLENCE needed to be consistent
• TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION to become truly elite
• The LEADERSHIP AND CHARACTER skills you need to lead yourself + your team
• Developing the right CULTURE for long term success

At NJADS, we aim to ignite a mindset of possibility in every dancer—encouraging them to ask, “How great can I truly become?” Through our partnership with Marc and JG, we’ve built a program rooted in powerful principles: Marc and JG champion the idea of “Process over Outcome,” while NJADS stands firmly behind “Progress over Perfection.” Together, we’re cultivating not just skilled dancers, but resilient, growth-minded individuals who embrace the journey as much as the destination.

This innovative program goes far beyond physical technique. It equips dancers with the psychological tools to thrive—building confidence, focus, and emotional agility. By bridging the gap between skill and mindset, we help dancers of all levels unlock their full potential, both on and off the stage.
