Santina

Educate. Empower. Evolve. Express: Where Badasses EMBRACE Their Journey, Voice, and Community

Meet Santina

Hi, I'm Santina!

I'm so fucking happy you're here 🩵

In my space, EVERYBODY has a place! If you've never fit in, you're now HOME!

Chances are you're here because you dig my vibe, my values, and what I'm about.

Nothing I do is conventional, traditional, or stuffy.

EVERYTHING I do is unconventional, inclusive, diverse, and out of the box!

I lean into my integrity by leading with HUMAN KINDNESS and HONESTY... while tapping into approaches that stem from playful exploration and making moves through baby steps.

I believe in the empowerment of SELF through the understanding of your rhythmic flow.

You can count on me to always show up with the ENERGY and VIBES that'll set the tone for our work together.

I'm a 420 (cannabis) lover, enneagram 8, manifestor in human design, LGBTQ+, Aussie living in Washington with my wife, who cusses like a truck driver!

Work With Me

I show up and make an impact through...

Culture & Vibe Marketing
As a Biz Bestie I work with Studios/Schools & Entertainment Creatives to represent their culture and vibe, through various marketing methods by collaborating together in a done-for-you service, so that they can stand the fuck out online, become the go-to in their area, and without the stress or overwhelm of having to figure it out themselves.

Take Me To The Resources

What if we stopped treating body diversity like a side note in dance education? 🎤

What if it wasn’t revolutionary to see a bigger body in a leotard — it was just… normal?

What if affirmation wasn’t something we added in after harm was done but something we built into the foundation of how we teach?

This is about building a space where dancers feel safe to show up as they are AND stay…

In their bodies.
In the art form they love, without constantly questioning whether they belong in it.

If we want inclusive studios, we have to do more than post about it!!

We have to bring it into the everyday moments 👇🏻

Like what dancers colour in during downtime.
Like the bodies they see on the wall.
Like the words they repeat back to themselves when class is over.

This is the shift.
And we all get to be part of it.

🖤 I’ve created a resource to help you begin and it starts with what they colour in.

Not next week. Not when you feel more “ready.” Now Babe!

She’s not here for the watered-down, overly-filtered version of your voice.
She doesn’t want you shrinking your magic to make other people comfortable.
She wants the full-body yes. The bolder move. The unmuted truth.

And I get it… playing small can feel safe.

But safe doesn’t always mean aligned.

Growth?

It’s not always loud or glamorous.

Sometimes it looks like posting the thing you’ve been scared to say.
Launching the offer that feels a little too “out there.”
Showing up in your actual energy; not just what you think will perform well.

The next version of you?

She’s not built from strategy alone.
She’s built from self-trust, nervous system check-ins, and a little bit of delusion.

So stop holding back.
You’ve got shit to do AND people to impact.

Feeling this?

Drop a 🖤 if you’re done playing small and are stepping into the version of you that’s been waiting.

POV: Your BizMate (and some of their studio dancers) surprise you with the sweetest thank you video at recital 😭💙

Center Stage Dance in Elkhorn @csdelkhorn had me in my feels with this one.

I loved recording their social media recap video that played at recital in between dancers — but seeing them take the time to record this? It reminded me exactly why I do what I do 👇🏻

They make me feel a part of their CSD family even though we’ve never met IRL!

From the amazing co-owners and husband and wife duo, Trevor @trevford1 & Andrea @andreaford_ , all the way through to the students, the last two years working with and supporting this BizMate in the done-for-you space has felt like the biggest squeeze of love.

The posts. The captions. The reels. The storylines.

They aren’t just content — they’re connection.

They’re the heartbeat of a community that shows up, supports, and celebrates the magic happening inside the studio walls.

I’m so damn honoured to be part of their story 📖

Vulnerable Dance Journey | Share No 5
📅 Recorded: April 10, 2023
💃🏻 Choreographed + danced by me
🎶 Track: “Eastside” by Halsey & Khalid
💫 Choreographed for Unstoppable Babes

This one…
I don’t remember what triggered the emotion.
I don’t remember what cracked me open that day.
But I do remember how I felt.
And I remember showing the combo to my wife, Dany, after class — like I always did after every live session.
I remember her holding space for me without needing to fix anything.
Just witnessing me in it. Letting me be in it.

That’s what this video is.
A timestamp of being cracked open and supported at the same time.
Of letting movement hold what I didn’t have words for.

The ending gets me every time.

Because you can see it… I gave myself what I needed in that moment.

Not as a teacher. Not to demonstrate.

Just to feel it honestly and fully.

Thanks for being here while I continue to share the parts I used to keep hidden.

This journey is vulnerable for a reason 💜

This is for the ones building a business with a body.
With feelings.
With fucking soul.

You’re not behind — you’re building something real 💥

There’s nothing more powerful than watching a dancer finally drop the weight of expectation and step into who they already are!

That’s what I hold space for in every room I teach…

Not just clean choreography.
Not just performance.

But real connection. Real presence. Real becoming.

Whether I’m working with dancers in a studio I visit once or a program I get to return to again and again — this is always the intention.

✨ If you’re looking for a guest instructor who teaches with intention, inclusivity, and a whole lot of heart — I’d love to come work with your dancers.

That moment you catch your own vibe in the mirror and think… ‘yeah, she’s that girl’⚡️

Backstage. In my zone.

Shoulder shake on. Smile soft. Energy loud.

This is the part nobody teaches you 👇🏻

The feeling of being in alignment with your work, your body, your life.

I don’t need a stage to turn it on.
I just need a mirror… and maybe a little oatmilk chai after 😉

I’m equal parts soft heart and sharp edge.

And this?
This is me, feeling both.

It doesn’t have to be perfectly filtered.
It doesn’t have to follow the latest trend.
And it definitely doesn’t have to drain you.

The kind of content I help creatives and studio owners build?

💥 It’s rooted in truth, not templates.
💥 It honors your energy and your edge.
💥 And it actually connects with your people and your purpose.

You can build visibility and stay human.
You can market without the mask.
You can post without performing.

This is what Culture & Vibe Marketing looks like in action 💜

Your combos are powerful —
but your presence is what people remember ⚡️

This is for the choreographers, teachers, and educators who lead with soul in the studio…

And are ready to let their content carry that same energy online 💥

Save this for the next time you’re stuck trying to figure out what to post.

✨ And if you’re ready for done-for-you support — you know where to find me.

When they say you’re going to help people create authentic content with integrity and passion…

And you’re like: YEP!

This is what that looks like.

#OnBrand 🤣

Because here’s the truth:

Authentic content = the human stuff.

The messy stuff.

The goofy moments.

The energy behind it all.

And I fucking LOVE collaborating with and supporting my BizMates with their content, their online presence, their artistry, their projects, and using their voice to become more visible in the online space.

I personally wouldn’t have it any other way 🔥

This piece came from a time when I was just beginning to reconnect with my body — not as a dancer performing for an audience, but as a woman learning to feel again.

There’ve been seasons where I felt completely disconnected from my body.

Not because I wasn’t dancing… but because I didn’t like how it looked.

Or how it felt.

Or the weight I was carrying — from PCOS, societal pressures, and trauma.

And even now, watching this back to share it, I can see the moments where I performed for the camera instead of moving from my body.

But I also see the truth in it.

The sensuality. The stretch. The softness.
The small moments where connection was louder than control.

🎥 This is Video 4 from my vulnerable dance journey I’ve been sharing.

This wasn’t for a stage.
This was for me.
For the practice of coming home to myself through dance.

🎵 Track: “Feeling Good” by Etta James
🗓️ Recorded: Dec 8th, 2022
🎥 For: my Unstoppable Babes Membership
👯‍♀️ Choreo’d + danced by: Yours truly 🙋🏻‍♀️

Guest teaching isn’t just about walking in and running a class 💥

For me — it’s about how we hold the space, how we connect with dancers, and what they take with them when they leave the room.

Let me say it louder for those in the back 🔊

When I’m brought in as a guest instructor, here’s what I value in every room I teach:

✨ Trust
✨ Culture & vibe
✨ Brave space
✨ Mind-body-heart connection
✨ Helping dancers feel SEEN and celebrated

No matter what style I’m teaching, my mission stays the same: to create unforgettable class experiences that inspire, empower, and uplift dancers of all ages.

Interested in bringing me in for guest teaching, dance workshops, masterclasses, or adult dance experiences?

DM me — I’d love to work with your dancers 💜

Somewhere along the way, we were taught that downplaying our talent made us easier to love.
Easier to follow.
Easier to swallow.

But the truth is — the more I’ve owned my voice, my values, and my visibility… the more aligned, energizing, and free this work has felt.

And yes, some people will fall away when you stop making yourself smaller.

Let them.

You weren’t made to shrink. You were made to shine — fully, unapologetically, and on your own terms.

Video 3 of this dance journey I’m exploring and sharing 👆🏻

🎵 Track: “Ain’t No Other Man” by Christina Aguilera
🗓️ Recorded: Sept 7th, 2022
🎥 For: my Unstoppable Babes Membership
👯‍♀️ Choreo’d + danced by: Yours truly 🙋🏻‍♀️

This combo came from a time when I was reclaiming my strength.

When I was teaching, creating, healing, and still figuring shit out behind the scenes.

And even though this wasn’t a “performance” video… there’s something about this one that feels like a declaration.

Of power. Of play. Of presence.

Unpolished. Unapologetic.
And totally me.

We’re not doing perfection over here.
We’re doing presence.
We’re doing connection.
We’re doing “holy shit, I’m actually in my body and not just managing it like an unpaid intern.”

There was a time when my relationship with her was basically:
👉🏼 gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss… collapse.
✨ Cute, but make it trauma.

Now?
We’re learning to move together without conditions.
To stretch without punishment.
To rest without guilt.
To dance without performing.

It’s not linear. It’s not always graceful.
But it’s real as hell — and that’s what makes it powerful 💪🏻

Here’s to anyone else learning to live in their body instead of just managing it like a poorly-run LLC!

She’s asking you to trust your softness, your standards, and your sacred pause.

This is the vibe.
This is the energy we’re inviting in — and everything else?

Can kindly f*ck off ✌🏻

Which one hit hardest: mood, love language, secret talent, or core vibe?

🏳️‍🌈 It’s June 1st… which means Pride month is HERE 🙌🏻

But let’s be real: this energy is all year long.

Today I’m holding space for celebration and remembrance of why we GET to be here!

Pride isn’t just rainbows, glitter, and parades (although I love that too) 🌈🪩🌈

Pride exists because of resistance.

Because of protest.
Because of uprising.
Because of Stonewall.

Because people like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera risked everything to fight back.

Because they (and we) are tired of being criminalized, harassed, erased.

It’s a legacy of fighting to be seen, to be safe, to be free.

So yes, we celebrate. Loudly. Boldly. In full color 🌈

But we also remember what this month stands for:
🌀 Liberation.
🌀 Visibility.
🌀 Community.
🌀 Love that refuses to shrink.

And I couldn’t imagine a better way to kick off the month than by stage managing @rockforpride — a fundraiser and show featuring queer artists, queer power, and queer joy.

I’m so fucking proud to be part of this work 🥹

To show up behind the scenes.

To hold space for the voices that need to be heard always 💜

Remember, queerness doesn’t exist in a single month. It exists every day. And so does the fight for equity, safety, and joy.

Happy Pride. Let’s keep it loud.
All year. Always. 💥🌈✨🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🏳️‍🌈 It’s June 1st… which means Pride month is HERE 🙌🏻

But let’s be real: this energy is all year long.

Today I’m holding space for celebration and remembrance of why we GET to be here!

Pride isn’t just rainbows, glitter, and parades (although I love that too) 🌈🪩🌈

Pride exists because of resistance.

Because of protest.
Because of uprising.
Because of Stonewall.

Because people like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera risked everything to fight back.

Because they (and we) are tired of being criminalized, harassed, erased.

It’s a legacy of fighting to be seen, to be safe, to be free.

So yes, we celebrate. Loudly. Boldly. In full color 🌈

But we also remember what this month stands for:
🌀 Liberation.
🌀 Visibility.
🌀 Community.
🌀 Love that refuses to shrink.

And I couldn’t imagine a better way to kick off the month than by stage managing @rockforpride — a fundraiser and show featuring queer artists, queer power, and queer joy.

I’m so fucking proud to be part of this work 🥹

To show up behind the scenes.

To hold space for the voices that need to be heard always 💜

Remember, queerness doesn’t exist in a single month. It exists every day. And so does the fight for equity, safety, and joy.

Happy Pride. Let’s keep it loud.
All year. Always. 💥🌈✨🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Some propaganda is worth falling for.
This is mine.

The kind that says:
→ Rest is part of the business plan
→ Boundaries are a leadership skill
→ Visibility doesn’t require performing
→ Your nervous system isn’t a liability
→ Small and sustainable is actually powerful
→ And being present beats being perfect—every damn time

Because listen…
I’ve done the burnout.
I’ve tried to win the game I wasn’t even interested in playing.
I’ve built, rebuilt, burned it down, and started again — this time on my terms.

This isn’t some fluffy feel-good mantra.
This is the truth I build from now.
If you’re falling for this kind of propaganda too… you’re not behind; you’re awake.

If you want content that actually connects, stop obsessing over the perfect post…
and start sharing the real ones.

If you’re only posting recital highlights and final products — you’re missing the moments that actually matter to your community.

Families, students, and clients are drawn to what’s real.

The process. The vibe. The growth. The energy.

⚡️ Show us the rehearsal energy.
⚡️ The way you support individual and team growth.
⚡️ The conversations that shape your studio’s culture.
⚡️ The small moments that build big connection.

Because your people?

They don’t just want to see your work.
They want to feel it too.

That’s what culture & vibe content is.
And yeah — it works!

You’re not lazy.
You’re not unmotivated.
You’re exhausted from being everything but yourself.

Joy isn’t some fluffy extra.
It’s fuel.
It’s power.
It’s a radical act in a world that benefits from your disconnection.

Hold this close:
Your joy is allowed to lead.
Your rest is allowed to matter.
Your movement is allowed to be messy, soft, slow — and yours.

Studio owners — let’s be real:

Posting just to “stay visible” is exhausting.

Trying to sound polished, perfect, and professional 100% of the time?

Draining.
Uninspiring.
Disconnected.

You didn’t start your studio to become a full-time content creator.

But you do want your presence online to reflect your energy in the room — the way you teach, lead, build community, and shift culture through the arts.

This is what happens when your content finally starts to feel like you again.

And when it does? That’s when people actually pay attention.

Swipe through if you’re ready to stop shrinking and start showing up!

Meet Buckley… he joined our family 4 weeks ago and fits right in!

Today we celebrated his 2 month birthday with a special bow tie (pic 1)🤭

He’s smart AF, playful, part Maine Coon, loves being patted to sleep, and has a badass attitude.

He’s still learning to be snuggly and he’s trying to find the right balance of play and learning from his big brother Squeaky.

Swipe across to watch the most adorable video of him fighting sleeping, the first night we brought him home, when he was just 5 weeks old.

20 years ago, you took your last breath.

20 years ago, your body had enough.

20 years ago, I stood by your bed, knowing you needed to go.

20 years ago, I whispered in your ear, ‘It’s okay. You don’t have to keep holding on. I’ve got this. It’s time.’

18 year old me could never have imagined being here today, thinking back to the day I lost you.

18 year old me could never have thought that I’d miss years of experiences with you.

18 year old me could never have believed I’d be living the life I’m living now.

And I never got the chance to tell you Thank You!

Thank You for being the mum I never knew I needed.

Thank You for always showing me unconditional love.

Thank You for batting head to head with your stubborn daughter.

Thank You for encouraging me to follow my dreams, passions, and soul nourishing experiences.

Thank You for putting me in dance when I was 4, solely so I could develop a love for something that would 100% keep me from getting involved with the wrong crowd. By the way, I’m still dancing and loving it!

Thank You for all the lessons you taught me. I still giggle and laugh at different things that come up and remind me of a saying or motto you would say. You wouldn’t believe how much I reminisce about the special moments, that are triggered from something I have noticed or seen or that someone says, that instantly reminds me of you.

And… Thank You for giving me your smile. I wear it proudly everyday knowing it came from you.

I love you Mum!

Ps this picture was taken at a friends house in Adelaide, South Australia, before I went to my year 11 formal (aka like prom).

Not to mention how much it settled down and regulated my nervous system!

So, I turned 38… almost two weeks ago.
But, you know, life be lifin’, and here we are—never doing things on society’s schedule — so why start now? 🤣🤣🤣

In the spirit of making my 38th year as powerful as possible, I’m living by three mottos:
✨ Move boldly. Show up fully: No more dimming, no more filtering — just taking up space exactly as I am.
✨ Create freely: Overthinking kills creativity. I’m making what feels right and letting it be right. No more overthinking —just full-body yeses and making magic.
✨ Own the damn space: Whether it’s online, in the studio, or in life—I take up room, and I do it unapologetically.

And because 38 years have taught me a thing or two (or eight), here are some lessons I’ve picked up along the way—sprinkled with a little hard-earned wisdom and a lot of real talk:

1️⃣ You don’t need permission to take up space. Stop waiting. Start owning it.
2️⃣ Dance (and life) are better when you stop performing for approval. Move for you.
3️⃣ Authenticity isn’t a trend—it’s a rebellion. Show up real, raw, and you. Every. Damn. Day.
4️⃣ If you’re not cringing at your old work and your old ways of thinking, you’re not growing. Keep challenging yourself. Keep learning. Keep evolving. Keep risking. Keep pushing.
5️⃣ Boundaries are an act of self-respect, not an inconvenience. Say no and let it echo.
6️⃣ Your energy is currency—spend it wisely. Some things aren’t worth the emotional overdraft.
7️⃣ Being “too much” is a gift. Loud? Passionate? Unfiltered? Good. Stay that way.
8️⃣ If it doesn’t make you light up, it’s not for you. Pivot, drop it, or burn it down—whatever you need to do.

So here’s to 38—to showing up, shaking things up, and making this year my most unapologetic one yet.

Now, let’s party… you know, in a “Oatmilk Chai, stretchy pants, and deep conversations” kind of way. Cheers!

What’s your ‘creative’ chillaxing thing you tap into?

This blanket is using the granny cluster stitch and will have Olive Green added to it along with another white section.

It’s also going to be a gift for one of the Aunt’s in Dany’s family. So excited 🫶🏻

Making peace with food is a journey, and this salad?

It’s a love letter to my body — a reminder that I deserve nourishment, not punishment.

Eating isn’t about getting it perfect every time; it’s about showing up for yourself, one meal at a time.

If you’re struggling, start small. Start messy. Start anywhere.

You’re worth it — always.

🌟 The beauty of unfiltered conversations? They’re an open door to connection.

A safe space where vulnerability takes center stage, and life’s messy, magical complexities, are laid bare.

Together, we lean into the real, the raw, and the “wow, I didn’t know you felt that too” moments 💬✨

It’s about discovering and peeling back the layers, embracing our humanness, and finding strength in the shared experience.

Because when we keep it real, we create space for clarity, connection, and collective growth.

And that’s what we’re craving - the TRUE authenticity that keeps the magic alive 💖

Together, we lean into the real, the raw, and the “wow, I didn’t know you felt that too” moments 💬✨

It’s about discovering and peeling back the layers, embracing our humanness, and finding strength in the shared experience.

Because when we keep it real, we create space for clarity, connection, and collective growth.

And that’s what we’re craving - the TRUE authenticity that keeps the magic alive 💖
