The Dance Circle Project
(for studio owners)
You’re always looking for ways to support your dancers,
to help them grow not just as performers, but as whole humans.
​
But having spent decades in studios myself, I know it's not easy.
Schedules are packed. Students come and go.
And even in the most welcoming environments, some dancers are still struggling:
the ones who quietly drop off the schedule,
who didn't get the solo, who leave class feeling worse than when they came.
The ones who love to dance, but are losing their spark.
​
And, it's not always who you might think.
Sometimes the most talented dancers are suffering in silence too.
​
This project is for them.
Straight up magic happens when dancers of all levels hear from each other that they’re carrying
the same fears, limiting beliefs, and pain points. Coming together and realizing we’re not alone is
where real healing and joy begin.
What it is:
The Dance Circle Project is a 3-month crash course in dancing without shame.
Spoiler: not every week includes dancing, and that's on purpose!
​
Some weeks are about moving, others are about learning, self reflection, and sharing our stories. Then we integrate and repeat. ​
​
We meet weekly for 90 minutes, rotating through a mix of:
-a learning workshop
-a skills-based movement class
-an emotional support circle
-a dance party (yes, an actual party! low lights, good music, no pressure)
​
Dancers also get:
In addition to the weekly 90 minute workshops, they'll get​
​
-one 30 minute 1-on-1 check in with Christina
-access to our private online group for the season
-playlists, journal prompts and weekly invitations to deepen the work
-a new relationship with dance!
-and a group of people doing the same brave thing together​
Here's a sample monthly schedule:
just an example - we keep it fluid to meet the needs and interests of those in the group!​
​
Week 1 Learning Workshop: Dance Anthropology
Week 2 Movement: Levels & Layers
Week 3 Emotional Support: Story Mapping
Week 4 Dance Party! (always a dance party week 4)
Pricing TBD, Custom Options Available
What this could mean for YOUR studio:
(this is a pilot project, so I won't pretend like I can promise anything - yet!)
​
-those who feel curious about dance, but too intimidated to try, have a way in
-new students feel safer, more welcome, and more likely to stick around
-current students gain tools to manage self-doubt, pressure and burnout
-serious students feel safe to take creative risks and deepen their artistry
​
Ultimately, this work helps dancers connect to why they dance, which supports not just their growth, but the health of your whole studio culture.
Coming September 2025
I'm aiming for a Fall 2025 kickoff!
*This is a pilot project!
The Dance Circle is a brand new project currently seeking dance studio partners in
the NoVA area. I've already got curious dancers on the waitlist ;)
​​
If your studio resonates with this mission, shoot me an email and let's make time to meet!
​
*Interested but unsure? I'd love to chat with you anyway! There's no commitment, and every conversation helps me refine the details and build something truly supportive.
