Meet Your Mind Coach :
Steph Case
What if I told you that you might be your own biggest roadblock to achieving your dreams?
I help dancers unlock their full potential—mind, body, and spirit—so they can confidently show up as their best authentic selves, both on stage and in life.
With over two decades of experience as a Latin Dance Instructor and World Champion Coach, and as a soon-to-be graduate with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I understand the unique challenges that dancers, especially young girls and women, face. They often focus so much on the demands of their dance lives—the pressures, insecurities, comparisons, and financial stresses—that they neglect the mental health and well-being of the very body that will carry them toward their dreams. As a result, they can feel disconnected from their true goals and passions.
Through IGNITE YOUR MIND through DANCE, I fuse elements of personal development and mental wellness to build the whole dancer. I empower women and girls to live with confidence and reach higher levels of personal growth. It’s time to step out of your own way and step into the big, bold life you’re meant to live.

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.
