Dancing is way more than physically moving your body.

Whether you’re shaking it out on a dance floor, jamming to Beyonce in your bedroom, or remembering what it was like to make up dances as a kid, one thing’s for sure:

You feel better when you’re dancing.

You might even feel more like yourself - that real true part of yourself that doesn’t always get to be seen.

But what happens when LIFE happens and it stops you from getting there?

📆 Sure, you can keep adding dance classes to your Google Calendar but skipping over them when the time comes…

📱 You can let the tough stuff get the best of you and spend more time scrolling than you do having real connection…

🗣️ Because let’s be real - adulting is NO JOKE and it’s super easy to put dance on the backburner, believing that voice in your head that says it’s not really necessary.

So how do we find our rhythm? Revive the dancer we once were or long to be?

The answer is actually already inside of you.

It’s all about making even a teeny bit of space, in a welcoming and supportive environment, so that you can connect to your truth and trust yourself enough to let movement flow out of you.

It starts in your body.

It starts with your dance.

Introducing: the Dance Again® Membership

the (re)Entry Point to Your Movement, Creativity, and Confidence

Dance Again® has 3 main goals:

1. 🧞‍♀️ Reconnect to your inner dance magic

When that inner spark awakens inside of us, we can use it to help other facets bloom - whether that’s becoming more magnetic to attract the best relationships, boosting your work life and money making potential, or simply feeling more energized and happier in your everyday life.

2. 🪩 Move your body and express yourself regularly

so that you can heal and grow through whatever has been holding you back in dance and in life. Using guided somatic movement exercises, you’ll learn how to move through it literally and metaphorically.

3. 👯 Integrate dance AND community into your life

No more feeling isolated, or wishing you had more dance friends, you’ll be living that reality! You’ll be part of our Dance Again® online community to help you feel less alone and guide you every step of the way.

...and have the option to do it all for less than the cost of 1 class. 🤯

As part of this relaunch and for a limited time, we are offering spots in the membership at only $20 per month, which is less than the cost of one class!

“beyond dance, it’s helped me to reclaim my confidence"

…That’s one of the things I hear so often from members of Dance Again® and our classes and trainings.

Among others:

“I feel like me again”

“I know exactly what step to take next”

“I don’t feel so alone anymore”

Before Dance Again, students feel disconnected from themselves and separate from their creative dreams and visions. They are not feeling fulfilled because they aren’t dancing and creating regularly, and can’t seem to get out of their heads and into action. They are letting insecurities get the best of them - “I’m past my prime… why would I bother?”

Afterward, however, it’s like they’re entirely different humans:

They are making up choreography in their kitchen. They aren’t afraid to call themselves a “dancer” in passing conversations. They have tools and support to bounce back after their confidence takes a hit. They are back in classes - or even teaching the classes themselves. They have a fulfilling personal practice.

This is why Dance Again exists.

To make it simple, fun, and accessible for you to dance again, and for that movement to spark other movement in your life.

To feel confident embracing your body exactly as it is and allowing it to express.

And, to have the community and support to keep showing up and keep dancing and creating your way through life - with whatever it is you might want next!

How It Works

While Dance Again® is really located in your body and your movement, logistically speaking it's hosted on an easy-to-access network platform, accessible by any browser or with our Dance Again App.

Hi! I'm Jess, your guide through this process.

As the founder and director of Dance Again, I have been running our classes and programs consistently since 2015. I'm also a TEDx speaker, the author of Dance With This Book, a creative coach, copywriter, former holistic health coach, and dancer/performing artist. (shout out to my fellow multi-passionate creatives!)

The path of getting here has had MANY transitions and transformations along the way. Here are the cliffnotes:

I was a holistic health coach with a thriving practice and thought that was my calling, until something in my soul told me otherwise. What started out as a creative hobby - making homemade dance videos alone in my room - has grown into a career and a community over the last 10+ years. From starting tiny workshops in a Brooklyn studio to speaking on a TEDx stage to performing in front of hundreds to seeing my homemade dance video screened at Lincoln Center, I’ve been on a mission to make dance more accessible, with an emphasis on creativity and self-expression.

I’ve also been coaching since 2007 in the fields of women’s health, creativity, copywriting, and business. Over that time I've supported 85+ entrepreneurs and businesses on their content, marketing strategy, and messaging, as well as 60+ individuals into successful creative paths.

My Dance Again programs and videos have helped hundreds of people in NYC and beyond to reclaim their sense of self through dance, feel at home in their bodies, and revive their creative expression.

I’m currently navigating quite possibly the biggest transition ever in my life - becoming a mom. As I learn about life with this new human, I feel called to move through it in the best way I know how: while dancing and creating. Leading this membership is my way of holding myself accountable as I bring together our community in this unique way.

How is the membership delivered?

All of our memberships include the online community, plus the full library of class recordings, challenges, and creative courses available 24/7 via our mobile app or desktop to make it easy to dance and connect whenever you want.

We offer bonus Zoom sessions on occasion for the basic membership, and if you upgrade to the next level, you'll get even more support live on a regular basis.

But would an in-person class work better for me?

Let’s be honest, there’s nothing like an in-person dance experience! And this is not meant to replace it, but to supplement it. Also - What I’ve heard from so many people over the years is that it takes them SO LONG to get up the courage to walk into that dance studio. Or to find a dance class that they want to take and can fit into their schedule.

The reason I decided to start offering my program online is because I saw the need for something easy to access that can catalyze more dancing in whatever ways you want to. By getting started with an online program, you’re taking the pressure off yourself to have to even leave your house. You’re taking the first step. You’re connecting to other people all over the world just like you, and you’re inspiring each other to get moving.

Some people who go through this program are happy keeping a personal dance practice that they do at home. Others go on to find or create local in-person dance experiences. It’s really up to you, and the program is going to guide you to create exactly what you want.

What if I don’t have enough time?

I don’t either. But I know that if I don’t make the time to dance and connect to myself, I’ll be a hot mess. And being a hot mess is only cute for so long. Etching out 30 minutes to an hour each week to do something for yourself will be a gamechanger.

What if I don’t have enough space?

If you can stand up, extend your arms, and spin around in a circle without hitting anything, you have enough space to do this program. Kiddos, babies, and pets are welcome to join you, too!

What if I don’t have much formal dance training or experience?

That’s totally fine! Dance “again” can also mean dancing repeatedly, whether or not you have danced a lot in your past. Having little to no dance experience can actually be helpful, because you have less preconceived notions of what your body “should” be doing and you can tap into its free expression to release stress and open your creative energy. All you need is a desire to have fun, explore your inner world, feel free and empowered, and dance it out.

What if I have a ton of dance experience but I’m very rusty?

This is also for you! The benefit of an online format is that you don’t have to worry about mirrors or other people watching you - it creates a space where you can tap into your movement from the inside out. People who go through our programs build up confidence and get back their flexibility and movement enough to feel ready to take even more classes and get back into the studio if and when they desire.

I’m worried I won't keep up with an online program.

You don’t have to! Even if you do 20% of what’s offered, it will benefit you and be worth it. People say that the community aspect creates motivation and a feeling of accomplishment, even when they can’t make it live to classes. And anything we lead live will be recorded and available to you shortly after so that you can build it into a routine that works for you.

How will dance help me make changes in my life?

How could it not?! But I totally understand the question ;) Sometimes it’s hard to imagine how something as simple as dancing could have a big effect on other areas of your life.

What I’ll say first is that this program is guiding you back into dance, but it’s also guiding you back to YOU. Dance (in the way I teach it and use it) has a way of reconnecting us to the essence of who we are, to release stuck emotions and energy, and to express things that have been wanting to be expressed.

Plus, on a purely scientific level, I can point out the ways in which dance opens up neural pathways in our brains that can make us think more creatively and get out of the patterns of thought that have been keeping us stuck.

When you have a regular dance practice that works for you, you’re able to have more energy, think clearly and more openly, and approach your relationships and work with confidence.

It’s no secret: You feel better when you’re dancing.

But it’s also way harder than it used to be to get moving and to keep it consistent.

“I love the space Jess has created for us... It's not just about working on a dance, or the act of getting to dance again, it is so much more than that. I’m learning so much more about myself than I ever thought I could and it's giving me the confidence to explore and create more.”

You’ve been meaning to bring dance back into your life, but…

You’ve been craving a reinvention.
