Who's your dance persona?

You've trained the technique. Now let's train the feeling.

Five personas. Three minutes.Β 

QUIZ: FIND OUT WHICH ONE IS READY TO EXPRESS!

BeyoncΓ© had Sasha Fierce. Stefani had Lady Gaga. So who's yours?Β 

You've been at this a few years now.

Steps. Timing. Posture. Foot position. Legwork. Arm styling. Musicality. All the things.

And it's working.Β Your technique is getting better.

But when it comes time to perform, you're supposed to:

  • SHOW YOUR PERSONALITY?
  • EXPRESS?
  • LET IT ALL GO?!
  • on demand, in front of people?!

Dance like nobody's watching β€” when everybody is?!

How's that supposed to go, when expression was never on the to-do list?

This is happening to everyone.

Not because anybody did it wrong. Because EXPRESSION IS A SKILL. Trainable, like every other thing you've trained. It just never got a lesson slot.

You've trained the technique. Now let's train the feeling.

How This Works

Read each word. Don't think. Just ask your body: is this already in me? Could I walk into a room right now, wear this word like a second skin, and feel it? Yes / No.

"I don't teach women to dance. I teach them to feel so good being themselves that other women lean over and whisper... 'I want what she's having.'"

Hi, I'm Ching Kao, PhD

Β 

I've been where you are.

I have the Stanford PhD. Published neuroscientist. Financially thriving. Successful on paper.

But I was miserable β€” dead on the inside.

This is a real phenomenon. A landmark Wharton School study analyzed 35 years of data just to confirm what we already know β€” the more successful women become, the less happy they report feeling.

More achievement. More opportunity. Less joy. Less aliveness.

The answer is not to leave your successful career and run away to the circus. It's about running out of your head and starting to dance in your body β€” to reconnect you to the feeling of being fully, unapologetically, deliciously yourself.


As a cognitive neuroscientist, professional Latin ballroom dancer, founder of Firebeat Ballroom Studios and Embody Her In Motion, I've coached hundreds of women toward embodying and expressing the richness of themselves. I've witnessed the powerful transformation that comes from embodied movement.

And I am passionate about doing the same for you.
