| Rebecca Thompson, PRIDE Committee Member, DivaDance® Chicago | 01 Jun 2020 | 00:34:24 | |
This month, we’re celebrating PRIDE at DivaDance®. What we love most about Pride month is that it brings ALL people together. Pride is colorful, fun, full of love, and that’s what we hope DivaDance embodies as well! We really celebrate Pride YEAR ROUND! This year, knowing that most folks wouldn’t be able to celebrate Pride how they normally would, we felt we had a chance to bring Pride into people’s homes through our live-streaming class and through virtual events. But rather than our HQ making all the programming selections, we assembled a Committee, made up of folks who are part of DivaDance that are also passionate about celebrating the LGBTQ+- to create an authentic and fun virtual celebration for the DivaDance community and beyond! Let's welcome REBECCA THOMPSON (she/her) from our Chicago squad, who is a member of the first-ever PRIDE Committee. DivaDance® franchise opportunities are available in select cities.

| Natalie Moore, Owner of DivaDance® Florida Suncoast | 20 Mar 2020 | 00:33:42 | |
So this episode is not what we expected our next topic to be. We had a whole plan for instructor interviews, client interviews, and clients asking questions like, "Which Spice Girl are you?" But given what's happening in the world, we felt it urgent and important to record a little something for our community that speaks to the uncertainty and overwhelm of COVID-19 that we know we're all feeling. Meet Natalie Moore, who is a certified registered nurse anesthetist. She's also a mom, an instructor, and a newly-minted franchise owner of DivaDance® Florida Suncoast. We have a responsibility to our community, nationwide, to educate and empower them so that we can do our part to get to the finish line of this coronavirus crisis faster, but at the same time, I know we are all trying to find our temporary new normal. Normal to me means still trying to find humor and light in anything we're experiencing. So if it's okay with you, we'd like to laugh a little during this episode, but by the way, it's also okay if you cry. DivaDance® franchise opportunities are available in select cities.
