Using dance and movement to unlock possibilities

- Does your organization desire to retain more satisfied, productive, and healthy employees?
- Do you desire to decrease your employee turnover and sick day usage while increasing employee engagement?
- Is your company culture competitive?
If you answered yes to the questions above, then implementing a weekly or biweekly Danceshop at your organization might be the solution you've been looking for.
The Danceshop combines the experience of a group exercise dance fitness class with the experience of attending a personal and professional development seminar. Danceshop Creator P. Valerie Dauphin facilitates creative problem solving and participant bonding in a fun environment.
Why work with Valerie?
I can speak to the needs and desires of the 40-hour employee because I, too, was a 40-hour employee at various organizations for a number of years.
And while undergoing challenges that come with working in a full-time office environment, I experienced the power of dance and physical fitness to shift my perspective, de-stress, and connect more authentically with my coworkers.
I sometimes wonder that if previous employers had implemented an uplifting, consistent, and fun structure like I've created with the Danceshops, I might have stayed at those establishments longer.

- I've experienced 3-hour sedentary meetings that left my coworkers and I annoyed, tired, and ready to leave the office quickly.
- I've taken my fair share of mental health days because I knew what was waiting for me at the office and I couldn't bring myself to go.
- I've experienced low engagement, loyalty, disinterest, and at worst, outright resentment.
- I've worked in contentious teams with difficult personalities and witnessed employee strife that lasted for years.

Benefits to Your Organization
Creative Problem Solving
Through an intentionally-created process, the Danceshop guides participants to outline specific challenges, obstacles, and desired outcomes at work. They will be guided to uncover solutions to these challenges they were not privy to at the onset. Movement facilitates this activation as neurons of the hippocampus rev up during exercise, thereby improving cognitive functioning.
Employee Bonding
According to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association (the trade association serving the global health club and fitness industry), "more than 2 out of five (43%) health club members participate in group exercise, according to the IHRSA Health Club Consumer Report. This amounts to roughly 22.1 million members." I, personally, have fallen into that statistic for over 15 years. One big reason is positive use of Limbic Resonance, "a symphony of mutual and internal adaptation whereby two mammals become attuned to each other’s inner states." Simply put, connection. Happier, well-connected employees are bound to produce higher quality work together. And according to a survey of 3,000 YMCA members in Australia, while exercise makes people happier, group exercise makes people happiest.
Because the Danceshop combines physical exercise with engaging development seminar exercises, we are able to make positive use of Limbic Resonance and encourage a stronger employee network.
