Check out the photos taken by Marlen James – who never misses a moment!

Don’t just take our word for it – read on to see what some of the attendees had to say…

“I had such a positive and healthy experience last Saturday at the DIVAGIRL Conference. Thank you for introducing me to this exceptionally mind blowing event. The energy could light up the world. I was and am still experiencing an illegal high from the entire journey. WOW!!!!!” ~ Felicia Marandola

“I had a fantastic time – the speakers were really true and dedicated to their messages and the event, and it was a pretty special experience to get to witness so many people coming together!” ~ Melissa Aquino

“The DivaGirl Conference was an excellent experience. It was nice to be surrounded by such amazing and inspirational women. Great event for anyone looking to change their lifestyle for the better.” ~ Portia Favro

“I loved the session with Lauren Slocum. Lauren easily wrapped you up in her talk, making you believe she was speaking just to you. The exercise of asking everyone write out their 6-month goals was very powerful (and emotional). For me, putting a few goals down on paper made them come alive and seem really doable.” ~ Heather

“It was a lot of fun. I loved Carla Catherwood’s sassy, fun attitude, and the presenters were inspiring. Well done ladies! Thank you” ~ Nikki Orr

“The conference was so much more than just a opportunity to workout, learn, shop and connect with other women. It provided a fun and inpiring environment for you to reexamine your priorities and feel you had the tools to make your goals a reality!” ~ Jean Giroux

“We had a fabulous time at the Diva conference. the workouts were fun and effective. I could feel it in my abs for days. The speakers were thought provoking and inspiring. A definite must next year.” ~ Wendy Baterman

“This was a great conference. As an older Diva I expected it to be all about young model types – boy was I wrong – everyone went out of their to be welcoming and friendly – everyone was equal and could partipciate in every way — Can’t wait for next year!” ~ Michelle Cove

“The day was a jump start to many great days ahead!” ~ Pia and Lucy Santoro

With that said – we hope to see YOU at next years DivaGirl Conference 2013! We are already planning the day – and we can’t wait!!

What are three words that best describe you? 
Genuine, Driven and Charming.

Tell us a bit about yourself: the true Diva.
I am incredibly passionate about making differences in not just my own life, but for the world at large. I often dream about the possibilities and get super charged knowing that all the little things amount to the big things in life. I love the presence of family and friends in my life – they are my motivation, they inspire me to operate at my full potential. I am a girly girl at heart and think of my face as my canvas – a place where I can magically add artistic improvements.

How did you get into teaching dance/fitness?  Tell us about your experiences in the industry.
About 10 years ago, I realized how much I loved to move, to express, to be around people in the entertainment sense of things. I discovered the realm of Latin social dance, and was instantly hooked to all things Latin. Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Samba, Reggaeton – it was all such a divine treat for me! So I pursued learning, then performing, then teaching in a short amount of time, literally submersing myself and my schedule into all things dance and training and personal development. The last 4 years have been some of the best years of my life! I have met incredibly passionate people who love to move and they share some of the same values that I have. I have also seen some challenges with the rates this industry pays their instructors and performers (specifically the entertainment and fitness industry). One of my core missions is to help increase the perceived value for our services so that we may start enjoying a better standard of living – I have done this already with my current companies and will continue to encourage and promote this across the board.

Why did you decide to join DivaGirl?
I decided to join DivaGirl because I was incredibly inspired by Laura Furtado. She has been an incredible motivating force of action since the day she started and that is something I want to be apart of! I love her attitude, her vision, her energy – and I have committed myself to the growth of the DivaGirl brand for my own betterment and the betterment of the fitness/entertainment industry. PLUS, it’s more fun to be a part of this awesome company!

Tell us a bit about the classes/workshops that you offer to the DivaGirl Community.
My classes and offerings are designed for progression and positive results. They all have Latin inspired foundations; some partner work and some individual dancing/movement. They are fun and engaging and are geared towards individual and team expression via dance. If you love salsa, bachata, reggaeton, latin movement, and zumba, then you will love all of our class offerings.

Why should women attend your DivaGirl classes/workshops?
Knowing that each person progresses at a different rate and with a different learning style, my dance school takes the time to discover each student’s needs and develops approaches that work for them. Our syllabuses include a comprehensive, progressive structure, opportunities for student review and feedback and a timeline set for progression. Our students commend us on our attention to personal detail and our friendly and warm approach. Unlike other dance schools, we emphasize student and teacher relations in order to build strong, confident, and stylistic dancers.

What constitutes you as a Diva?
I am a Diva because I know what I want, and I go and get it!

 What are your top three tips to help women get fit, have fun and feel sexy?
#1. TAKE TIME OUT FOR YOURSELF! Listen to your thoughts, develop your vision, dream often, talk to yourself with love and care!

#2. SCHEDULE IN THE FUN! If you’re like me, than you often schedule in clients, workshops, meetings, work, and more work – but will somehow forget to SCHEDULE in the fun stuff just for FUN – like you would any other priority in life, make a time slot and commit to it.

#3. EAT WELL! People often think that ig they just workout a lot more, or take a fitness class that they will feel sexier. This is true, you will, but by far you can feel so much more sexier in your own skin if you FEED yourself Power Foods, Nutrient Rich Foods, Fibre Dense Foods – excess fat around your sexiness assets will melt off naturally, so you can enjoy a lean, mean, sexy body! Whatever skin you’re in, LOVE it and Treat it Right, so you can feel SEXY all day long!

Are there any upcoming workshops/events/projects that you are working on, that you would like to share to the DivaGirl community?
Starting in April, my dance classes will be on 5 days a week! So come and check them out! Click here for more details!

May 11th – HUGE salsa party that my partner and I will be organizing – come out for some awesome performances and great dancing fun! Held at 918 Bathurst ( super close to the TTC Bathurst station)

June 1st – BIG salsa anniversary party that my company is performing at, and we are hosting the party afterwards – at Joy of Dance, Dance Studio Toronto.

Final Comments?
If you don’t know where you’re heading, how will you know when you get there? And if you take time to listen to yourself, anyone can start dictating how your life will span out. But it’s YOUR life, and you have the rights and freedoms to CHOOSE what you do with it – I am extremely proud of my success to date, and have so many people to thank for their support – my family, Thiago, Sarah, the students, the sponsors, the partners, my friends, and my Divine spirit.

Thanks DivaGirl for all you do!

2. Create a daily ritual

Each day, take 10 minutes just for you. When you wake up in the morning, take a min. to find your happy thought for the day;something positive that you are going to do, or someone your are going to see who makes you happy. ( I got this tip from my boyfriend.  I love that he does this every morning and so now I started doing it too)  Before bed, read a book that  inspires you, take a bath or drink an herbal tea.

3. Move it!  Exercise for 30 minutes every day. You can go to the gym,  take a yoga or pilates class, go for a walk, swim or go dancing. Choose something you like and be consistent.
4. Write in a journal.

Write a little every day. You can write your goals for the week. What has been a success this day, you’ve learned today, and one reason why you are grateful.

5. Love, Love, Love

Find ways to get more love in your life. Find time in your schedule to see the people you love. Playing with a child, hug your friends, smile at someone you do not know,and most importantly, if you love someone, tell them.

6. Eat your veggies.  Every day no if ands or buts!

This video describes how I went from unhappy to super happy!

I was living a beige life that didn’t fit until I finally decided to face my fears and take one giant leap forward.

What are three words that best describe you? 
Energetic, Positive, and Independent.

Tell us a bit about yourself: the true Diva.
When I was 15 I moved to Canada from South Texas by myself to live a better life. Mostly anything I’ve ever done I’ve done it on my own. Getting myself into schools, auditions, studios, classes, transportation, photo shoots, jobs, etc. I grew up in a really small town, and I had a small town mind. Since I’ve moved I see there is a whole entire world out of opportunity. Best believe I’m going to go out there and get it!

How did you get into teaching dance/fitness?  Tell us about your experiences in the industry.
I always loved to dance as a kid, but was never a “studio child”. The small town I grew up in didn’t have studios, so I resulted to cheerleading. When I moved to Canada I put myself in a studio right away. After about 6 months of taking class I was assisting the younger classes. I also transferred to an arts school, took dance obviously, and got the opportunity to choreograph/teach my classmates. After that, I guess word got around and I started c0-choreographing studio competition numbers. I’ve been in love with teaching ever since! Industry wise I’ve choreographed for events such as “Dancing with the Docs” (fundraiser for the Closer campaign), some talent shows/musicals, and was a co-choreographer of a fashion show for the clothing company Hurley. I’ve danced in a few music videos this year, stage events, and of course Nuvo-Burlesque shows!  I’m looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the industry in 2012.

Why did you decide join DivaGirl?
I love teaching dance/dance fitness. I love performing. I love having a team of amazing people surrounding me with positivity. Working with DivaGirl I enjoy all of these things + more!

Tell us a bit about the classes/workshops that you offer to the DivaGirl Community.
As of right now I am starting WAACK yourself into shape! Waacking is a fresh dance style very hip to the dance scene. It’s also great arm, ab, cardio- pumping workout! Gunna be FRESH!

Why should women attend your DivaGirl classes/workshops?
I give more to my students than just a class! I believe in nourishing the soul, body, and mind through dance. Everyone needs an outlet once in awhile, and when you attend my class I can guarantee you won’t be thinking about your to-do list. You will just be having fun & WERKING!

What constitutes you as a Diva?
I’m pretty much a female version of a hustler. No, but really as I said before.. if I want something I will work as hard as possible until I get it.

 What are your top three tips to help women get fit, have fun and feel sexy?
1. Eat WELL! It’s totally cool to treat yourself, but you are what you eat!  What you fuel your body with affects your mood, skin, and health.
2. Keep your friends close! Don’t let your Diva hustle get in the way of catching up with your girls.
3. Make sure your exercise excites you! If you don’t enjoy running – don’t run. There are so many ways to stay fit. Exercise often & enjoy doing it!

Are there any upcoming workshops/events/projects that you are working on, that you would like to share to the DivaGirl community?
Vanessa Young, the Booking Agent of DivaGirl Entertainment, and I are working on a HYPE ART project called ‘Those Girls.”  It may or may not have you asking this question.
