Hey DWYA Community,

I’m really excited to launch the official Dance Where You Are Blog, where we’ll share tips, insights, and stories from almost 4 decades of dancing, teaching, and performing. Social dancing is such a special thing to me because it's a way for us to communicate in unique ways with one another. Things like community, encouragement, and resilience, and more.

Here’s what you can expect here:

  • Real talk about social dancing — how to make movement feel easy and natural.

  • Tips for navigating class — from how to show up, to proper dance etiquette.

  • Mindset gems — that connect what happens on the dance floor to how we show up in life.

  • Stories — about things some of us coaches and artists have encountered in and out of the entertainment industry

As one of my students once said, “Dance is a great cross-training for life.” I couldn’t agree more. The same tools and pillars I use when teaching; presence, groove, energy, story, and connection are the same ones I live by every day.

My goal is simple: to help you not only become a better dancer but also to move through life with more joy, confidence, and presence.

So buckle up ... this is just the beginning!

See you on the dance floor!
