After dancing professionally for years, Katia combined her passion for dance and fitness into a career when she founded DanceBody in 2013. A 15-year veteran in the wellness industry, Katia grew DanceBody from the ground up, starting with Private Sessions that quickly turned into sold out classes. Her mission to provide a fun, inclusive experience through the DanceBody workout has translated into a cult-like following in NYC, Connecticut, Los Angeles, The Hamptons, and beyond. Katia is regularly tapped as an expert in her field, both as a fitness professional and entrepreneur.   

This episode was recorded LIVE at Dancebody’s new studio in Westport CT amongst our collective communities of moms in celebration of Mother’s Day - the energy throughout the conversation and after in a sculpt workout taught by Katia’s Co-founder Courtnay Mariani was palpable.  This event format and morning felt like such a cool mark of Katia’s debut back to her Westport studio after having a baby just 5 months ago, as well as a moment to come together as moms, and celebrate eachother.  We definitely don’t get enough of these moments together - so here’s to manifesting many many more.
