Love for The Dancer's Balanced Body Program
The support in the group program was fantastic, I loved the group coaching calls!
It was nice to connect with dancers outside my circle and know we were all in a similar boat.

Hi, I'm Jess!
Your holistic health, nutrition, and lifestyle coach for dancers.
meet your coach
Hi! I’m Jess Spinner, Founder of The Whole Dancer.
After attending Butler University and dancing professionally, I became a Holistic Health, Nutrition, and Lifestyle Coach specializing in health and wellness for high level dancers. For my full bio, click here.
My professional experience and my work with dancers has made it very clear to me: finding a healthy balance to sustain a long, confident and successful career can be a challenge!
If you’re stressed about the aesthetic pressures of ballet or struggle with unhelpful body image, The Dancers’ Best Body Program was created for you.
You can overcome the doubts you have about your body and ability as a dancer. It is possible to achieve your personal best dancer’s body in a healthy, sustainable way. You can get the job, the role or the promotion and this program can help get you there.
I can’t wait to work with you!
I'm excited for you to give it a go! First, you'll sign up through your preferred payment link. Then, you'll receive an email providing access to a course dashboard where a new module will open up each week. You'll receive emails along the way to keep you up to date and accountable. If you need anything at all, you can reach out to me through the contact form on your course dashboard or by email: jess@thewholedancer.com.
I've never done an online course before, how does it work?
YES! This program is about doing the work to feel amazing in your skin. Your body may or may not change but I guarantee you'll feel better about where you are physically AND what you're capable of. If you want to make sure you're dancing at your peak level, then yes - this program is for you.
I want to feel better about my body but I also think it needs to change. Is this program for me?
This program is an investment in yourself and your future. You've already spent $$$ on your training, dance supplies, and more...with this program, you can ensure that all of those investments pay off. Lacking body confidence or assurance that you're supporting your body to perform can hold you back from reaching your fullest potential in dance. You also have 14 days to try the course and make sure it's exactly what you need (if it isn't, email to request a refund and I'll give you your money back)!! No risk, lots of reward!!
I'm not sure about spending the money, is it worth it?
I totally get that mindset. This was actually my personal approach but - in all honestly - it took me nearly 15 years to figure it out on my own. This program combines my nutritional and coach training with my personal experience of figuring out my own body to help you do the same with yours but much faster!
And while this program is not about a quick fix and it is absolutely not a crash diet. You can start to see results in as little as a week with major shifts occurring over the 7 week program.
It's about transformative, long - lasting changes. The goal is to help you attain your personal best body so that you feel your most confident in the studio and on stage. For. Your. Lifetime.
Can't I just figure this out on my own?
GRACE BROWN, COLORADO BALLET ACADEMY
I love how the program puts a huge emphasis on self love and self care.
I also love how Jess was a professional dancer and understands the struggles dancers are going through. To me, it is crucial that I have a coach who understands what I am going through as opposed to, say, a non-dancer dietician.
I went into this program only hoping for weight loss, but what I got was much better. I now have a healthy mindset and a greater sense of self love. I am able to eat a cookie at night without feeling guilty. I have also noticed an increase of tone in my muscles as a side effect of a healthy mindset.
I feel that is the main component that has helped me get to where I am today. The program does not just focus on food but on the complete well being of the dancer.
CHANTELLE MEYERS, PROFESSIONAL DANCER ABROAD
I would definitely recommend this program. I think the biggest reason is because the program covers everything and helps you create a healthy lifestyle that can be maintained long-term — it isn’t an extreme or “quick fix” program.
I really enjoyed the group calls and always looked forward to them! I am going to miss them! It has helped me to be more accountable with going through the program.
When I worked with sports doctors and nutritionists in the past they didn’t really understand a dancers life and were just trying to promote their own agenda, rather than help you find exactly what works for you.
Through my participation, I have a better mindset, more self-love and more muscle tone.
Ivy Lanhardt, Nevada Ballet II
I signed up for coaching because I wanted to have a healthy relationship with food and feel good about my body. I was feeling very uncomfortable in my body and it was making my mental state worse as well
I always tell my friends about how much Jess has helped me mentally and physically. I like the way I look now and I have a lot less guilt when eating.
I feel like I was able to be happy with how I look again and my mental state has improved so much! I am also able to talk about anything going on with dance with Jess that has also helped me a lot.
I have loved my time working with Jess!
