I just want to tell you how this place came to be...

/ paragraph 1

First of all, this studio is my childhood dream. I've poured my heart and soul into it, and you can definitely feel it when you come here.

At the time of opening the studio, I had been teaching in New York for two years. During that time, hundreds of women have attended my classes. Many of them shared with me how long they hesitated to come and why. And every time, I heard the same words:

- I'm clumsy, I'm not flexible.
- I've tried classes before, and I didn't succeed.
- I'm afraid of being worse than others.
- There's something wrong with my body.
- I might look silly, and people will judge me.

/ paragraph 2

I wanted to create a place where no woman would even have such thoughts.

Where everyone can be themselves and feel at home. A place filled with a warm atmosphere of female support. Where you can find friends, not competitors. Where everyone is surrounded by care and attention from the instructors. Where you can finally relax, forget about the constant race we're all in this city, and simply enjoy yourself and connect with your body. Where dancing is about pleasure, not a competition with yourself and others in the room. Where there are gentle classes for those who have never danced because they require special care and attention.

Dancing is what has helped and continues to help me in my life every day: being self-confident, in touch with my mind and body, enjoying myself and life, staying in shape, being energetic and many many more.

/ paragraph 3

I sincerely believe that every woman on the planet should try dance.

The Femmily is the best place to do that, I promise you. I created it for every woman reading this. I will be glad to make one more woman in this world happier.

In addition to the studio's internal atmosphere and philosophy, I've also taken care of its external aspects — aesthetics, cleanliness, comfortable spaces where you can enjoy your workouts and take great photos for your social medias.

I'm really looking forward to welcoming you to our studio and can't wait to see the sparkle in your eyes after your workout.

Best regards, Valerie.
