Mental Wellness Certified Dance Educator
In many ways, a Creative Dance Retreat is like a dance class. To better work with and support the dancers who come to the studio, I completed my Mental Wellness for Dance Instructors certification through Danscend.
I will always prioritize my dancers’ needs and have their backs. At my studio, you never need to apologize, and you will never disappoint me. Be who you are and where you need to be.

Why Get Certified in Mental Wellness for Dance Instructors?
From Danscend:
A Danscend mental wellness certification demonstrates that educators and organizations are dedicated to providing dancers with a safe and supportive learning environment. It highlights their commitment to promoting mental health awareness and addressing issues like resilience, mindset, and self-esteem.
Research shows that dance educators significantly influence their dancers’ emotional and mental well-being. In fact, we teach twice as many soft life skills as we teach tendus. Would you like to feel more equipped to shape the minds of the young people in your classes?
Thank you to Danscend for teaching the course and being a fantastic resource for mental health in the dance world.
