Meet Your Mind Coach :
Steph Case
What if the biggest thing holding your dancers back… isn't their technique—but their mindset?
As a coach, you give your all to your team. But no amount of conditioning or choreography can reach a dancer who’s mentally drained, insecure, or disconnected from their purpose. That’s where I come in.
I help dancers unlock their full potential—mind, body, and spirit—so they can show up confidently and authentically, both on stage and in life.
With over two decades of experience as a Latin Dance Instructor and World Champion Coach, a soon-to-be graduate with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and as a published author sharing my personal journey through identity and performance, I bring a unique blend of expertise to the work I do.
I understand the real-world pressures dancers face—comparison, anxiety, burnout, body image struggles, and financial strain—and how those challenges can silence even the most talented performers.
Through my signature coaching programs—
INNER CHAMPION
and
IGNITE YOUR MIND through DANCE
—I help teams and individuals build mental resilience, emotional clarity, and confidence from the inside out.
It’s time to support the whole dancer—not just the performer. Let’s raise a generation of champions who thrive in dance
and
in life.
🧠 51.7% of Elite athletes struggle with mental health problems at some point, and over 44% of student athletes report mental health symptoms on a daily basis. they are playing through burnout, anxiety, and emotional distress. most of these athletes are Female.
🧠 Your High-Achievers Are Struggling—and you shouldn't have to handle it alone.
Dance Educators do you realize the role you play in the molding of the mental wellness and overall development of youth and future professionals?
Dancers do you have a plan in place take care of your mental wellness to take your dance career to the next level?
If not, don’t panic! Let me help take that pressure off of your plate so you can continue to
focus on the talent.
As a coach or educator, you know that shaping well-rounded athletes is about more than just mastering moves.
Stress. Burnout. Confidence Issues. Mental Fatigue
These are the challenges that affect performance, but they’re rarely addressed in rehearsals
Through my programs

Transformed our studio community
I first met Steph when she brought her own daughter to dance. As studio manager, I've seen firsthand how mental wellness can impact a dancer’s overall performance. Since bringing in an Ignite workshop, our team dancers have not only become more confident and focused, but they’ve also built stronger connections with one another. It’s truly been transformative for both our dancers and our studio community.
