“As a plus sized ballerina, I struggled to find positive spaces in the dance world. PPW provided me the space and time to create a lovely class catered towards plus sized dancers, which has been my dream for a very long time.”

Amanda led beautiful meditation moments that allowed me to ground into the present moment of our sessions. She provided information that I can use outside of the offering. Thankful to have her lead the space.

Jessie is a trailblazer in the dance world. As a plus size dancer, finding welcoming spaces was a struggle until I found her classes. Jessie creates beautiful and joyful spaces for all bodies. Her dance classes always leave me feeling full of love and joy.

Love this space! It makes me feel safe to try new forms of movement! I’ve done the aqua cycling, aerial yoga, yoga, reformer Pilates, and dance classes! And each time have had a wonderful experience!
