How DivaDance Saves Lives

DivaDance, this is probably the most important Email I've sent in a while.

As a founder, there are moments that stop you in your tracks — when you realize that what you’ve built is doing so much more than you ever imagined.

This video did that for me.

🎥 Watch: DivaDance Saved My Life

It’s raw, emotional, joyful, and filled with truth. It’s women — real women — sharing how a dance class helped them reclaim their mental health, confidence, and purpose.

This isn’t a marketing video. It’s women, in their own words, talking about how a dance class — our dance class — became a lifeline.

Highlights from the Conversation:

• Grief, depression, anxiety, body shame — and how dance helped women heal.

• How one member went from not looking in the mirror to becoming an instructor.

• Women creating new routines, confidence, and purpose in adulthood.

• Multiple members shared: “This is the first place I’ve felt truly safe and seen.”

• Stories of friendship, sisterhood, and support that go far beyond the studio.

• The importance of joy and movement as mental health care.

It’s hard to explain what it feels like to see something you created — through a thousand tiny decisions and late nights — become this.

But it keeps me going.

And I hope, in whatever you're building, this reminds you of what’s possible.
