“You know what? I am really good at this and I think if I put my whole heart into it, I can make this something.”

In this episode of Startups and Stilettos, we celebrate the transformative power of dance with Emily Esposito, founder of Anyone Can Dance, a New York City-based dance studio. After 20 years of teaching children and performing in theater, Emily pivoted in 2020, discovering her passion for helping adult beginners learn rhythm and confidence. Whether it's to prepare for their wedding dance or simply to break free from the constraints of everyday life, Emily emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive and non-competitive environment for her students. Tune in to hear a testament to what can be accomplished when one fuses passion with scrappy business sense.
