Most people think you have to start dancing young to be great. Michael Fortin is living proof that’s not true — and he’s on a mission to make sure others know it too. In this episode of The Dance Yourself Brave Show, Michael joins host Mariana Santos to share how stepping into the dance world as a late starter helped him unlock a deeper level of confidence, compassion, and purpose.
They dive into what it really means to “belong” in a dance space, why perfection is overrated, and how dance can become a healing tool — especially for those who never felt like they fit in. Whether you’re a new dancer, a teacher, or someone who's still on the fence about giving dance a try, this conversation will move you — body, mind, and soul.
