The Rock Your Life Danceshops(TM)
Tony Robbins + Marianne Williamson + Creative Movement and House Grooves = The Rock Your Life Danceshops(TM)
There’s a different way to do personal development workshops and seminars; a way that engages your entire body instead of just keeping your butt on a chair for hours on end.
We hold ruts and blocks in our bodies. Moving your body can open your life in more ways than just getting a good workout. When you open your body, you open your mind. When you open your mind, next steps and solutions appear to assist you in losing weight in feel-good ways, making more money, mending challenging relationships, and pursuing your true passions.
Be in full connection to your body, mind, and spirit to create the life of your dreams.

- Mastermind and network in a kickass community
- Express yourself creatively
- Elevate your body confidence
- Get a great workout
- Play and have fun

The Danceshop Experience is where you get to create movement in those areas of your life that you want to expand. If you feel stuck, have doubt and are afraid to deal with something, come to the Danceshop and let's shake up that energy! If you want support around moving a dream or desire forward, come to the Danceshop and let's solidify that intention and brainstorm new growth opportunities.
The intention is for you to leave the Danceshop with clarity about the next step regarding that challenge or next step in your dream and to open you up to new ideas that will result in powerful actions and outstanding outcomes. You will have the opportunity to move those challenges in the spirit of fun, play, and community.
We ground this experience in dance (Latin and African inspired moves through Deep House music) and creative dance/fitness movement.
You don't have to face personal and professional challenges solo. You also don't have to face big and exciting things solo.

You may enjoy personal development workshops, but isn’t it challenging to endure all the sitting and learning in a classroom-style environment? And how many times have you nodded off during a workshop or seminar because you’ve been sedentary for way too long?
Not so with the Danceshops.
