Embodying your power through dance with Emily Chandra

Emily Chandra is the owner and founder of Seacoast Stilettos, an inclusive dance space that encourages folks to reclaim their power with dance. In her signature Seacoast Stilettos dance classes, Emily serves empowerment and community along with hype at her Peabody, Massachusetts studio.

Key Moments from this episode:

✿ Emily tells us how we can use dance as a beautiful and cathartic way to release and shake off trauma that's stored in the body

✿ On creating an inclusive dance studio,“We are really big on empowerment and celebration of the individual and of the collective of different body types, genders, expressions, and levels while also incorporating sensuality with a focus on celebrating sexuality.”

✿ Advice as a business owner, Emily tells us to stay true to what lights you up and the people who are also lit up by that will align.

✿ How she partners with local videographers to capture videos of classes for social media promos and so new students can see themselves represented at her studio.

✿ On handling pushback, “I have the platform and I have the voice, the opportunity, and the privilege to showcase what I'm doing. Why not put it out there? We're allowed out, we’re confident in our sexuality, and that can rub a lot of people the wrong way. So it is a scary thing. And it's also an important thing to be able to use our voice and speak up”
