The Confidence Clinic

Upon entering a traditional clinic, the visible wounds and injuries prompt assistance from a team of trained experts. However, what about those suffering from injuries to their souls? How does one heal, and where do they turn? Surprisingly, some find solace in an unconventional place—the dance studio.

Stepping into a Dance Studio in Orlando, Florida, 12 years ago, I sensed an indescribable energy within. I discovered that individuals were not only learning to dance but were simultaneously constructing their confidence and self-esteem. Every word of encouragement and the accomplished routine acted as a therapeutic remedy. I found myself addicted. Who wouldn't be? Emerging from a decade-long marriage and a painful divorce, my sole desire was to dance, heal, and be free. Remarkable women, on similar journeys, became my new family—a family that supported my passion for dancing.

There is something about music that enriches the soul and there is something about dancing that liberates it. For those who shy away from dancing and prefer alternative hobbies like running, swimming, tennis, or meditation, these activities provide a parallel sense of fulfillment. When individuals unite to engage in a task they are passionate about, the resulting energy mirrors the endorphins the brain releases during physical activity.

Discovering your passion and actively pursuing it is a crucial step toward full recovery. However, this journey is not meant to be undertaken alone. Neglecting a wound, whether physical or of the soul, risks infection and potentially life-threatening consequences. Seek help. Your mental, spiritual, and emotional health needs to be prioritized, and if your inclination leads you to dance, consider visiting the nearest Dance Studio Clinic. Here, we initiate your healing journey with an IV of RHYTHM and an antibiotic of CONFIDENCE.
