GHM Mentorship Submission: 2026 Mentorship

Join Galen Hooks' virtual mentorship program, open to participants worldwide! 🌍✨

Galen will guide you in achieving a personal goal—whether it’s dance-related or not—for a 1-6 month period starting in December 2025 or January 2026.

This is a 1:1 mentorship.

If you’ve submitted previously, you may submit again. If you were not chosen previously, there is no harm in resubmitting!

Only 5 participants will be chosen based on where Galen believes she can make the most impact.

Examples of mentorship topics include:

  • Profession: “I want to transition to acting” or “I’m auditioning a ton but not booking anything.”

  • Life Goals: “I want to gain confidence in how I move through life” or “I want a glow-up—help me moodboard a new wardrobe, hair, makeup, etc.”

  • Business: “I want to improve my brand.”

The program will include virtual meetings and check-ins on Zoom or similar, with the exact structure and schedule tailored to the participants. If this sparks your interest, submit your goals today and take the first step toward transformative growth!
