DWL In Action
In the News & On Tour
There are, literally, hundreds of DWL Fam members.
You can find us on all 6 continents.
In movies. On TV. On national tours, Broadway stages, parades, and everywhere in between.
With as hard as they work in the gym and in the studio, it’s no surprise the DWL Fam is #bookedandblessed checkout their accomplishments while training with DancersWhoLift.
Everybody started somewhere...
In the video on the left, I had been strength training for about 6 months and this was the first time I accomplished 3 (more like 2.5 lol) strict chin-ups.
Up til that point, I had always given myself the narrative that I, and all dancers, were just destined to have weak arms and no upper body strength.
Push-ups were something that could be marked or modified to the “girl” version.
Chin-ups were for the genetically gifted or the Russian gymnasts who had been training since they were 3 years old... but not me.
And then... it happened.
Half of a chin-up.
Then...
One chin-up.
With each baby step forward the pieces of the wall, that narrative I had written about who I was or what I could and couldn’t accomplish, was broken down.
Brick by brick.
Rep by rep.
As that narrative was dismantled, my self confidence grew. Even before “accomplishing” my goals, my CONFIDENCE was getting stronger simply by doing the hard work... by showing up... by failing forward!
It’s easy to forget where we started and even easier to freeze when looking at how far we have to go... but I challenge you to climb your ladder rung by rung.
You’ll be glad you started today.

A message from the #birthdaygirl
I want to write to you about how @meaganeishen lost 25lbs in 15 weeks...
I want to share with you how she did it by shifting her mindset, doing less, and allowing her body to rest and recovery...
I want to tell you how she took a crazy time in her personal and profession life and made the most of it...
but mostly, I want to tell you that she didn’t want to share these photos (Which I respected!) I want her to tell you WHY we’re telling her story:
From Meag:
“All this to say, I know I shouldn’t care what other people think about me (even if I do a little bit - I’m working hard not to) & I think if there’s one thing I can do to be a piece of *REAL, not photoshopped* reality in someone’s feed that inspires them to educate themselves & make their life better with nutrition & hard work instead of following the path that I did before this, it’s important that it’s shared.
We’re trying to normalize regular bodies in an already fucked up world & even more fucked up industry. 😅🙈 && If it brings you more success as a trainer with more clients, that’s also helpful because you’re clearly amazing at what you do & what you do is important. 🤍”
It’s easy to post the “after” picture. Perfectly posed and standing with confidence. A lot of influencers and performers do just that... I’m so inspired Meagan’s honestly and transparency. Life happens. Our bodies CAN and SHOULD shape-shift. The goal is to honor and respect your body and your truth at every point, and keep it 💯.
Give @meaganeishen a follow and a round of applause if you think she’s GORGEOUS and INSPIRING! 👏 👏 👏
If you’re ready to make a MENTAL SHIFT like this (and see/ feel those benefits physically) then you absolutely must join our Take the Leap membership program.

Have you ever thought,
“I want to be strengthening... I just need some structure...”
Or
“I know I should be working out, but I just don’t know what comes next...”
OR
By the time you scroll through endless YouTube workouts or IG swipe workouts you’re out of time, you’ve lost motivation, and frankly... you’re doubtful if THAT workout will even help your dancing...
If this sounds familiar, trust me, you’re not alone!
