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.

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.

A Game Changer for My Dancers

I can’t recommend this Ignite enough! My dancers have gained invaluable skills in managing their mental well-being, and I’ve seen a significant improvement in their self-esteem and overall outlook. The personal development sessions not only helped them grow as artists but also as individuals. I feel more equipped as an educator to support them in every aspect of their journey.
