Hello Everyone! I’m Vanessa, founder of Stars Within Inclusive Dance based in South West Sydney, Australia. Thank you @Sally Prendergast for introducing me to the Dance Marketing Community, I am excited to learn and grow alongside everyone. I help kids teens and adults with disabilities express themselves through dance. I started my dance studio 5 years ago and found it hard to balance work, business and life so I am hoping by joining this community, I can help my little and niche dance studio blossom with time. I am especially interested in connecting with other DSOs in the disability space and value any piece of advise from studio owners. Due to my personal life and work I engage in, I would love to help studio owners create inclusive spaces for neurodivergent dancers or performers. This is a field I am particularly passionate and educated in so if you have any questions or need advice, feel free to reach out! 💫 I am here to build genuine connection and learn from others so I would love to know, what is one thing you do at your studio to ensure all your students feel included and welcome? 👯 Let's connect! - Insta & Facebook: @starswithin.dance - Website: www.starswithin.com.au

Hello Everyone! I’m Marjorie, the founder and artistic director of Kaleidoscope Irish Dance & Movement Studio in Ontario, Canada. I’ve already learned so much in this community and look forward to learning and growing with other DSOs! What I Offer: I offer old-style Irish dance classes for all ages, from babies to adults. (My friends describe my studio age range “from 99 days to 99 years”). With a focus on rhythm and community, I prioritize the joy of dance. Empowering people to dance as themselves is central to me, which means we don’t do wigs, costumes, or competition. The cultural history and stories of Irish dance are integral to everything I teach. My goal is to revitalize folk traditions that are actually accessible to the widest range of people possible and help people to dance for a lifetime! Where You Can Find Me: - Skool: Old-Style Irish Dance - Instagram: @kaleidoscopestudiokw - Facebook: @kaleidoscopekw - Website: www.kaleidoscopekw.ca  Looking For: I am interested in organic ways to grow my marketing presence and would love to connect with others whose focus is on joy/connection through dance and inviting people into their spaces!
