You’ve heard me mention Marissa—my right-hand woman and our Director of Professional Development at SharQui. But what you haven’t heard is the raw, real story of how she almost walked away from dance completely… until a chance YouTube scroll (and a misbooked fitness class!) brought her back to life.
In this convo, Marissa opens up about being burned by the dance world, the fierce expressive drive no one knew what to do with, and how her classical music background made her a next-level student and teacher. And trust me—this one gets real.
If you’ve ever felt done with dance, burned by a toxic studio, or like your artistry wasn’t being seen... this one’s for you.
