Awakening the Leader in You.
TLW Dance Leadership Summit is designed for dance artists ready to move beyond the dance and focus on the person behind the dancer. Over this 5-hour experience, you'll develop a deeper understanding of who you are, get clear on your true values, and learn how self-awareness impacts the health of the dance community as a whole.
This isn't about being extra assertive or isolating to prove your values. It's about being a leader who:
- Is aware of their thoughts, patterns, and impact
- Speaks on their beliefs and lives them
- Holds themselves accountable
- Moves with intention, not approval
- Creates harmony without people-pleasing
Leadership begins from within.
This experience is for dance artists who:
- Are ready to take ownership of how they show up in the dance community
- Want to lead confidently without people-pleasing
