“Before going through this program, I was forcing myself to love things I knew deep down did not light me up inside. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and what I wanted to do following high school. After going through this program, I feel very prepared, grounded, and confident with who I am and my decisions. I have gained endless amounts of tools to help me cope with every up and down in my life.”

“Gina Pero energized my audience with an outstanding experience of a “Conscious Kickline” bringing all 70 attendees at the Vision 2020: Soulful Leadership Mastermind Retreat to their feet. Within moments, we were moving like many of us did not think we could. A room full of transformational leaders and event producers were blown away by Gina’s presentation drawing all of us into her experience as a Radio City Rockette and how it related to personal leadership being autonomous while working as a team. Three of my guests asked her to speak at their upcoming events, so they could share the experience with their audience. Gina is a compassionate powerhouse who walks her talk. She sees what is possible and inspires others to live in alignment with who they really are and to step courageously into their true greatness.”

founder of the Soul Affiliate AllianceHost/producer Soulful Leadership Mastermind Retreat

“Gina’s gift is working with teachers, particularly on developing a cogent progression of skills for any dance class and focusing on the verbal language cues that create immediate shifts in alignment, elongation, and spiral. Beyond knowing what to do, Gina helps teachers express their knowledge with verbal precision and clarity. Her understanding of brain science and precise anatomical training is valuable knowledge that makes her approach accessible and relevant to teachers of any dance genre. “

Jeanine Collins
Dance Educator & Leader in Education

Working with Gina has not only fast tracked my business on the road to success but has increased my personal beliefs and confidence as well. When I began with Gina I had confusion, self-doubt, and so much fear. The idea of creating a successful business based on my passion and love of the body, nutrition and personal healing seemed overwhelming and unattainable. With Gina‘s guidance I am on the road to an empowered life and successful business doing what I love every single day! I cannot thank her enough and I know without a doubt I would not be where I am if it weren’t for her guidance. And I’m still just beginning…so excited to see where the future takes me! Thank you Gina!

“Gina helped me see what was possible for my dance education and dream by giving me tools to build my confidence and handle my stress as a high achiever.”

 I feel this group program is more than just a program. It’s a community of like-minded people invested in enhancing themselves to be living their fullest potential. With everything in the world today, being a part of a community, specifically this one, has been extremely beneficial for my mental, physical, and spiritual health.
Before joining, my life was dimmer. I’ve always felt my light as I lead through my life before, but Gina helped me enhance this light immensely, and now my light shines on everyone.
Now my life has become much more purposeful. I further understand now that being a leader for others is exactly how I want to live life. Much like this community has inspired me, I aspire daily to spread that inspiration among my peers. I go through life now with a clearer direction of who I am, and who I strive to be.

This program a great way to become self aware, and evolve into your higher being!

When the program started I was very challenged by being in a job I didn’t like. Since then, I have ditched that job and new better opportunities are arising. It’s easier for me to acknowledge the light at the end of the tunnel now!

“Gina is such an incredible role model.”

Kensington Olesen

Before coaching with Gina,  I felt stressed and unorganized, I am calmer and find it easier to create a schedule after learning how easy the tools were to implement into my daily life.

Tabitha Burton

University of Arizona Alumni

Before joining Ginas group program, I definitely lived more in the future. I was always worrying about things I couldn’t control. I would let stress and negativity take over my body. Life was good, but I didn’t know that it could actually be better!

Now, I find joy in the smallest of things on a day to day basis. I look at difficult situations with a level head and not get too overwhelmed by them. I allow myself to feel frustrated, upset, and sad, but I don’t let those emotions navigate me through the difficult situation.

Alexander Chung
World Renown Dance Choreographer and Artist

When I began the Vision of You group program, I had been seeking to start the next chapter of my teaching and coaching career. I had a what I thought was a pretty precise and well thought-out plan of how it would happen but was hesitant. Through working with Gina, I’ve connected my unique history and background to this new path; as a result, I have more clarity, feel that a grander vision is possible, and know that having a deep and personal purpose behind my work will energize me and allow me to support my students’ training in more profound ways. Thank you, Gina! “

Gina was great at helping me create a plan to identify skills I could strengthen to help give me the confidence I needed. After working with Gina, I have a clear picture of who I am and what I want to do with dance in the future. Now I can communicate very well with others.

A big boost in confidence. Also, a new perspective on believing in herself!

It seems like she’s broadened her connection with people and also made friends with ease in all areas. From school to dance to the group.

She’s more focused on what she wants with dance and in life in general.

Gina and the coaching program shapes an inner leader to make change in the world. You learn true life skills that are necessary to be 100% energetic each day. You also meet other leaders who think similar to you.
I have found joy in doing the simple things like smiling when needed or complementing a person. I have also found myself being more communicative  confident.

She thoughtfully taps into the variety of student learning styles, combining appropriate methodologies and the creative process to reach her students. With an open mind, she embraces new theories and approaches to understanding the tri-disciplinary connection of dance history, somatic practice, and pedagogy.
