On this episode of GoalChat, I talked about the power of dance with Jennifer Ballard, Joy Scoutz and Disco Ball Designs; Missy Lawrence, CEO or TransformMaven LLC; and Jessie-Sierra Ross, author of Seasons Around the Table and founder of Straight to the Hips, Baby.

Jennifer, Missy, and Jessie-Sierra revealed their earliest dance memories, their takes on the power of dance, and more. They also shared their dance mantras. Jessie-Sierra: Loosen up more, shake your booty; Jen: Dance a good turn daily; and Missy: Dance like Beyoncé is watching.

How Dance and Joy Work Together?
– Missy: Dance makes the concrete real, it combats "meh"
– Jennifer: Dance serves to perk you up, it’s movement and expression
– Jessie-Sierra: In dance you are physically and mentally present

Why Some People Think They Can’t Dance
– Missy: Comparison-itis limits us
– Jessie-Sierra: Societal pressure
– Jennifer: Intimidation

Goals 
– Jen: Find time to dance every day. It can be 2 minutes
– Missy: Create a signature mantra or affirmation that includes dance
– Jessie-Sierra: The next time you are at a place where there is dancing, start dancing,

Final Thoughts
– Jen: You can dance if you want to
– Jessie-Sierra: Silence that voice that says you can’t
– Missy: You have permission to dance
