Sonya Dessureault

I’ve always been an independent person—even in my career as a partner dancer in salsa and now west coast swing. But more importantly, I’ve discovered the freedom that comes in the
connection in partner dancing. It’s when we can connect with ourselves in a real way that allows us to connect most fully with our partner.

I don’t want you to dance like me. I want you to dance like you.

Connecting with yourself, training your body—none of this is easy. I’ve been through every
emotion, every fear, pain, and struggle, to become the dancer that I am. I’ve looked at my body
and been disappointed. I’ve learned the importance of my thought life. I’ve worked and trained for a healthy body.

I get it. And I’ve also found freedom.

We start by mastering the necessary technique in the dance in a logical, precise, and rigorous process. And then, together, we discover what it means to dance like you.
