Jess Grippo Wants You To Dance With This Book

Praise be to the Instagram Gods the day that they suggested I check out Jess Grippo’s profile, because I knew this lady was a dynamo I HAD to know better the minute I started scrolling.

Jess is the author of Dance With This Book, a work that was born out of her desire to revive and reclaim her own dance practice. She’s also built the New York community You Can Dance Again, and is on a mission to help individuals reclaim dance, reconnect to their bodies, and create meaningful work in the world.

As someone who’s had a tumultuous relationship with dance and her body, Jess was speaking my language, and I immediately got my hands on a copy of Dance With This Book and tore through it. When I asked if she’d sit down to have a chat with me about her books, bodies, and creativity, she was down, and it was such a pleasure to talk with her!

Now it’s your turn to tune into our convo and relish in all the wisdom and inspiration Jess offers about how we (former dancers, professionals, teachers, just-for-fun-movers) can empower ourselves through dance.

And BONUS! Jess has a program starting March 2! Check out all the details here, and make sure you’re following her on Instagram to stay in the loop on all her awesome projects and offers.

Thank you Jess, for sharing your time and stories and wisdom! Cheers for bad ass, big hearted dance rebels!
