Missing the ‘me time’ you had before kids?

Being in the thick of motherhood can feel pretty lonely. I’m a former NFL cheerleader and captain, have gone oversees to perform for military men and women, and I currently choreograph for the NFL, NBA, and semi-pro collegiate dance teams.

After having my children, I missed my passion and some quality girl/me time, so I started gathering my dance friends + mom friends in the neighborhood to my garage to have a dance workout with me. The response was incredible!

My why is to create a space for women that is judgement free, supportive, and fun. Showing up for yourself is the first step, and we’re right here with you!

Meet Shay

CALVERT COUNTY

Hi, I’m Shay! Dance has always been a huge part of my life, and I love sharing my passion with others! My husband and I have a young son, Grant, and two young daughters, Caden and Audri.

I work full-time in DC, but enjoy my hybrid telework schedule. Since having children, I’ve been wanting to get back into dance, and MIM has been such a blessing and creative outlet for me. Jade and I met and bonded while cheering for the NFL, and I’m so excited to be a fellow instructor alongside her!

Meet Priya

HOWARD COUNTY

Hey, I’m Priya! I’ve been dancing since the age of six and quickly found my love for performing. I was a dancer and captain for my college dance team, as well as a former professional dancer for the NBA!

My husband and I have 3 boys and enjoy exploring our new hometown, since we recently moved here from Florida. I work as a physical therapist assistant and so honored to be a member of the MIM team.

I’m so excited to be a part of something I truly enjoy and look forward to making new connections and friendships along the way.

Meet Chantelle

I’m Chantelle! I grew up dancing, and went on to cheer at the illustrious Howard University for 3 years before working with the Baltimore Blast.

I was also the Washington Commanders First Lady of Football, cheering 5 years in the NFL, 2 as captain. After retiring from the team in 2018 I launched my own massage therapy practice!

I’m the Outreach Coordinator for the Bowie Center for the Performing Arts as well, connecting people in the PG County community with the arts. Can’t wait to meet you!

Meet Leeah

Hi, I’m Leeah! I’m a stay-at-home mom, former elementary and early childhood educator, and lover of group exercise. My journey began in 2016 when I received my Les Mills Body Jam certification. The following year I became certified to teach POUND, a full-body drumming workout.

After living and teaching in Towson and Baltimore City, my husband and I chose to settle down in Columbia with our dog, Sonny, and cat, Autumn. In 2023, we welcomed our sweet baby boy, Isaac, into the world.
