Aisha Francis - Teaching Beyoncé to Dance in Heels and How Confidence Is Trained (re-release)

Aisha Francis has built a career as a performer, choreographer, teacher, and one of the dance industry's most respected heels educators. In this conversation, she shares the unexpected story of how she ended up helping Beyoncé learn to dance in heels, along with the lessons she's learned from decades of working in the industry.
We discuss confidence as a trainable skill, the physical and psychological foundations of performance, what dancers often misunderstand about building a career, and why training with intention matters. Aisha also opens up about burnout, losing her love for dance, finding it again through teaching, and the realities of navigating a constantly changing industry.
From unforgettable stories on stage to practical insights on artistry, professionalism, and longevity, this episode offers a candid look at what it takes to grow not only as a dancer, but as a performer and person.
