We have two awesome guests. First up is Samantha Amaral, who leads our instructor development team and has taught over 500 DivaDance classes (that's a lot of hair tossing and booty popping!) You'll hear about her life before DivaDance - something about being a bell pepper 😲 as well as touring with Sesame Street Live 🤯!

Next is Shekena "Sapphire" Dallis from our Sandy Springs, Georgia community. She'll share her journey from taking her very DivaDance first class to becoming an instructor with us, where we have watched her transform from Shekena into Sapphire!
