“We recently had all of our staff and judges undergo training and certifications through Danscend. As a company, it was one of our best decisions this season. Kristin and Michelle were great to work with. They built a certification that made sense for our teams given their scope of work, presented it in a format that made it easy to understand and apply while bringing in real-time scenarios and discussion for our staff and judges. I would highly recommend Danscend for not only competitions but studios and teams as well.” 

"Danscend has provided wonderful and practical tools for my faculty to implement in the classroom. The highlight for us was the seminar on classroom feedback. Kristin and Michelle are knowledgeable and thorough in their trainings and offer really insightful and supportive content for educators."

“Spend the money. Do it. It’s going to make a world of difference in the way dancers handle and shoulder the pressure that naturally comes with all of the things dancers deal with.”

"Danscend is that rare organization; it combines the most up-to-date science in psychology and wellbeing, with practical advice which dancers and teachers, at any level, can immediately use. Kristin and Michelle, who are utterly professional, kind and curious, are also at the cutting edge of dance education. They have started something big which is destined to change the industry. I can't wait to see what's next."

“I’ve found the Danscend’s prompts for my students to be an effective way to get them thinking about their mental health on an ongoing basis. The easy to understand and thought provoking questions make discussions around mental health an accessible topic for any dance teacher no matter the stage of their career."

“Thank you for an awesome training. Very thorough and well thought-out and organized. As an adjudicator with over 20 years experience, and a background in psychology, this is such a needed piece to the judging puzzle!”

“Mental health needs to be held in the same regard as physical health in the dance world, and the work Danscend is doing to educate both dancers and dance instructors on how to take a healthier approach to their careers is vital, necessary and long overdue.”

“Danscend is a unique and much-needed resource in the world of dance education. I really enjoy the opportunity to discuss with my fellow teachers ways of supporting my students to build a balanced, healthy outlook during their training, and also to keep a check on my own well being. I really believe that this is the way forward in creating dancers with a greater sense of self worth and resilience.”
