I’m lucky to have Melissa Black from as my movement / ballet / yoga / Pilates / general legendary dance guru and I’m telling you I feel about 500x better to be getting back into dance after a 15-year hiatus!

Thank you. Seriously wouldn't be the positive yet assertive character I am today without the strong woman program or community. One of my best investments of last year.
