| 6/24/26 |  Why Your Students Aren't Coming Back (Even If They Like You) | 112 | Your students might love your energy, your music, and your class… and still not come back.In this episode, we talk about the real reason student retention struggles in dance and dance fitness classes - and why it’s usually not a personality problem or motivation issue. It’s a confidence issue.I break down what actually keeps students coming back, how inconsistency and over-complication quietly destroy confidence, and why repetition, structure, and clear teaching create stronger retention than constantly changing choreography.If you’re a dance instructor or dance fitness instructor trying to grow your classes and improve retention, this episode will completely shift the way you think about confidence, repetition, and the student experience.Because students don’t return just because they like you.They return because they feel successful.🔹 Grab your seat for my FREE training, How I Teach 7 Classes Per Week Without Memorizing An Ounce Of Choreography , https://sharqui.kartra.com/page/SBB🔹 Need a boost of joy, sweat, and community?

| 6/17/26 |  Why MORE Isn't Helping Your Dance Fitness Class (And What To Do Instead) | 111 | Have you ever explained something in class over and over… and your students still looked completely lost?In this episode, we’re talking about the real reason students struggle to follow in dance and dance fitness classes - and why explaining more often makes it worse.I break down the concept of cognitive overload, how over-cueing overwhelms students, and why layering movement step by step creates faster learning, more confidence, and better retention. We also talk about the difference between giving students more information versus giving them information in the right order.If you’re a dance instructor or dance fitness instructor who wants students to feel more successful, engaged, and confident in class, this episode will completely shift the way you think about teaching and cueing.🔹 Grab your seat for my FREE training, The 4 Things I Do To Sell Out Every Class (that other instructors don’t), https://sharqui.kartra.com/page/SBB🔹 Need a boost of joy, sweat, and sisterhood?

| 6/10/26 |  How Fitness Professionals Can Diversify Their Income and Stay Relevant in the AI Era | 110 | In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsey Passamonte - personal trainer, educator, and AI app developer - for a conversation about what it really means to grow and diversify as a fitness professional.We talk about building multiple income streams beyond teaching classes, adapting to technology and AI in the fitness industry, and why relying on one revenue stream can leave instructors burned out and stuck.

| 6/3/26 |  Why Your Dance or Fitness Class Doesn't Flow (And How to Fix It) | 109 | If your classes feel choppy, stop-and-go, or like the energy never fully builds… this is for you.In this episode, I break down one of the biggest problems many dance and fitness instructors face: classes that don’t flow - even when the music and choreography are good.We talk about:* why choreography is not the same as structure* how random sequencing creates hesitation and confusion* why students can’t relax when they don’t know what’s coming next* and how building movement in clear, repeatable blocks changes everythingBecause when your students stop overthinking…they start moving with confidence.If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly stopping, restarting, and explaining during class, this episode will help you understand why - and how to create smoother, more connected classes that actually flow.Structure isn’t boring.It’s what creates freedom.🔹 Grab your seat for my FREE training, The 4 Things I Do To Sell Out Every Class (that other instructors don’t), https://sharqui.kartra.com/page/SBB🔹 Need a boost of joy, sweat, and sisterhood?

| 1/21/26 |  A Fitness Certification is Not Optional for Dance & Dance Fitness Instructors | 93 | There’s a belief floating around the dance world that experience alone is enough to teach.“I’ve been dancing for years. I know my body. I don’t need a fitness certification.”But if you’re teaching classes that raise heart rates, repeat movement week after week, and ask students to trust you with their bodies, a fitness certification is not optional.In this episode, I break down why dance experience and exercise science are not the same thing—and why both matter. We talk about safety, cueing, injury prevention, legal protection, student trust, and what actually shifts when instructors step into true movement leadership.This isn’t about limiting creativity.It’s about supporting it with knowledge, clarity, and sustainability.If you teach dance fitness—or any class that conditions the body—this conversation matters.🔹 Need a boost of joy, sweat, and sisterhood?

| 1/14/26 |  A Curriculum Is Not Optional for Dance & Dance Fitness Instructors | 92 | Safety is the foundation. Always.But safety alone isn’t the goal.Once bodies are safe, the real responsibility begins: progression.In this episode, I talk about the difference between classes that feel good and classes that actually help students improve. Because fun, sweat, and great music don’t automatically lead to skill, confidence, or growth.We unpack a common belief in the dance world:“I don’t need a curriculum. I teach from experience.”Experience matters—but it’s not the same as effective teaching.You’ll hear why curriculum creates progression (not just variety), how teaching differs from performing, why consistency builds trust and retention, and why structure doesn’t limit creativity—it strengthens it.Students may not name it, but they feel the difference when a class makes sense and when they can tell they’re improving.If you want students who stay, grow, and trust you, this episode is for you.🔹 Need a boost of joy, sweat, and sisterhood?
