Develop KickAss Confidence
through Dance, ZUMBA, and Creative Movement
Is there something you'd like to do, but don't yet feel "good enough" to go for it? Just imagine what you could you do, have, or achieve if you had more confidence, and possessed unshakeable self-trust.
Even a small boost in confidence can change the trajectory of your future because the actions you take will be different and in greater alignment with the life you desire.
In this danceshop, your presenter will guide you through group discussion, written exercises, meditation, and dance to begin the process of developing increased confidence. Anything you desire is possible, with deeper confidence.

- Would you stop saying yes when you mean no?
- Would you stop trying so hard to lose weight you don't really need to lose?
- Would you let yourself go on dates or be seen professionally even though you haven't reached your goal weight yet?
- Would you speak up and pitch that great idea at work and school and finally receive the credit you deserve?
- Would you finally create the social life you've been wanting to experience?

Develop KickAss Self-Care
Service providers give their time, energy, passion, and love to empower the communities they serve. As those in giving and teaching positions share their hearts, minds, and souls, they must also be sure to give back to themselves. Otherwise, how can they sustain the energy required to continue giving at optimal capacity?
In this interactive 60-minute workshop, your presenter will provide tools to encourage the implementation of a regular practice devoted to replenishing and recharging your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual batteries. When self-care is a priority, we are much better equipped to create higher qualities of life while having enough juice left over to give more fully to the communities we serve.

Develop KickAss Exercise Habits
Think you’re too busy to work out on a regular basis? Is this a legitimate reason or a cop out? This presentation will invite you to think differently about the role of exercise in your life, which will then empower you to create a workout or “movement plan” that works for you. This presentation also includes tips to help attendees keep it simple, keep it fun, and keep it movin'! And for those of you who’ve always wanted to incorporate dance into your fitness regimen, will give pointers on how to navigate the dance fitness scene in L.A.
After attending Valerie’s workshop, I felt inspired, motivated, and couldn’t shake the smile off my face. Valerie was engaging, passionate, and refreshingly real . . . finally, someone who understands where I’m coming from and really gets it! I felt like a light bulb was turned on in my head, it was exactly what I needed. She really changed my way of thinking. Instead of the dreaded one-size-fits-all approach, she acknowledged us all as individuals and provided different avenues and options, encouraging us all to find what really works for our own lives. She was so friendly and approachable, and really knows how to move! Her dance instruction was easy to follow and incredibly fun; the entire room was smiling ear to ear. Valerie's workshop is truly for everyone – it will change your life!

Valerie’s presentation helped me pinpoint some of the reasons my exercise attempts have been unsuccessful. She really made me think about my excuses and more importantly my goals. The ideas she shared about ”Mindset to Minshift” helped to spark a change in the way I defined exercise which will eventually help me eliminate my excuses. - Lyneisha B., Los Angeles
When I signed up...I expected to sit and listen to the usual guidance to walk when possible, opt for the stairs and watch what you eat. Instead, I found myself up on my feet, laughing and engaging in an easy to follow and FUN dance routine ….along with several of my work colleagues, no less! Valerie gave a wonderful presentation. She was entertaining, informative and gave us a great variety of suggestions for ways exercise could become part of a fun lifestyle. By the end, all of us were grooving away, enjoying ourselves while working up a sweat.
