Interview with Inès McIntosh

Jun 10th 2026

In this episode of A Dancer’s Mindset, we sit down with Inès McIntosh, Leading soloist of the Paris Opera and soon to be an Etoilé I am sure, for a refreshingly honest conversation about what it really takes to climb the ranks in ballet.

Ines opens up about the sacrifices no one prepares you for — the tough choices, the pressure, the moments of doubt — and how she’s navigated them with clarity, grit, and an unwavering belief in her direction.

We talk about ambition, trusting yourself when the path isn’t obvious, and why determination isn’t just about working harder, but working with intention, taking things into your own hands if you have to.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing enough,” wondered if the risk is worth it, or needed a reminder that your future isn’t fixed — this episode will leave you feeling motivated, and back in control of your own journey.

This is a conversation about ownership, resilience, and shaping your destiny — on your terms. I hope you enjoy as much as i enjoyed speaking with her.
