April Kelly Instructor My name is April and I fell in love with SWERK and myself again at the end of 2018. I’m a busy mom and I work in a profession where I care for a LOT of people and somewhere over the last 7 years, I was caring more about every one else and way less about me. I was struggling both mentally and physically to the point I didn’t know who I was anymore. I was depressed and just going through the motions. I was missing something. So I decided it was time for a change. I needed to get myself back for not only myself but for my daughter (kids are always watching and don’t you forget it). A few friends had told me about SWERK. So I said why not? I tried it, and I LOVED it! I loved the music, the beats they just make you feel alive. You feel your heart race with excitement as you’re moving your body in ways you never thought you could move before with a smile that NEVER leaves your face! I loved my instructors I kept coming back for more and before I knew it I was hooked! Not just because of the work out but because of the new friendships and new experiences that I have been apart of since. I know the reasons that I came to SWERK. I just never thought I’d gain an entire new family out of just trying a dance class. SWERK is so much more. I became a certified SWERK instructor in February 2019 as a gift to myself. When I teach I welcome every body, you are all beautiful and you can be yourselves in my class. I want you to bring your friends, family, significant others. I even want you to invite people that maybe you wouldn’t think would try it. You never know who is just waiting for an invitation to be included or struggling like I was. As an instructor I will always be in your corner, I will push you because I see the potential in YOU. Maybe you don’t see it right now but that’s okay. We are only given one life, one body and it is so very special and I’m here to encourage body positivity to the max. I won’t let you give up on yourself.

Nimisha Thuluvath Instructor I attended my first SWERK class 4 years ago and was short of breath after the first song. Between college and medical school, I hadn’t worked out regularly since training in classical Indian dance while in school! However I became hooked, and as my passion for SWERK grew, so too did my love of fitness. I have now taken different classes in various cities including pole, barre, various forms of HIIT, and weight training, and actually looks forward to the gym! In 2019, I got married, ran my first half marathon and started teaching SWERK at a new boutique fitness studio downtown, Space Three. SWERK allows me to dance like I’m at the club since I now go to bed by 11pm. I’m able to let loose, and it has instilled a sense of confidence in me that I never had before. SWERK is the embodiment of working out without feeling like you are working out. It leaves me feeling happy for the rest of the day, and that’s why I’m hooked. I had to get certified to teach so that SWERK can be a part of my life no matter where I live.

Michelle Easter Instructor I am married to my best friend, I’m a dog mom, and I have been a hair stylist for almost 12 years! Working with people in the salon has taught me to be more compassionate, caring, creative, and professional. I love my career, I love my family, and I have learned in my adult life to love myself more! And to self-love includes working out! I have tried all kinds of different fitness classes and plans. Swerk speaks to me! I love Swerk because it makes me feel free, brave, bold, spicy, and extra!!! It helps me stay excited and committed to my workout! I took my first Swerk class 12/01/2018. I had been encouraged to try MVPDanceFit for years from my sister and I’m so glad that I finally checked-in! I fell in love with Swerk. I wanted to learn the dances, enjoyed how physically conditioning it was, and knew that I could let loose like my 15 year old self! I needed this! I continued classes so often! I was truly addicted to swerk! I invited all my girlfriends to try it! I saw a post about a workshop to get certified to teach this amazing fitness class. So, why wouldn’t I sign up for Swerk Shop in March?!? I gifted this to myself for my birthday! I’m so glad that I did! I subbed a few times over summer and started my first class in August! I became a SWERK Instructor because I wanted to make people feel how I was feeling as a client taking the class! The music is fun, the workout is challenging, and the results were definitely showing. I’m so thankful for the opportunity! I get to help motivate others, encourage them to express themselves, de-stress and have fun with them! After my class; you should feel happy, refreshed and hotttttt! I have a life to be so grateful for and a heart full of gold to share! I am patient with people because we all need to feel and look better—and be LOVED!!
