Denise shares her journey from a curious 16-year-old walking into a salsa class for the first time, to building one of the most inclusive dance communities in Windsor. Guided by a mentor who shaped her values and vision, Denise turned dance into more than just movement—it became a safe haven for self-expression, connection, and healing. She opens up about building her studio from scratch after moving cities and becoming a mother, the challenges of entrepreneurship, and the power of teaching beginners to believe in themselves. With honesty and grace, Denise reminds us that dance isn’t just about steps—it’s about creating belonging.
