In a world where AI and hybrid work are reshaping how we connect, Dance to Lead offers a distinctive approach to leadership development -- one that brings humanity back to leadership. Designed by Kim Bercovitz, Ph.D, it blends behavioral science with the partnership principles of salsa dancing to help leaders and teams build trust, communicate with clarity, and collaborate with agility.
This is not a traditional talk or dance class. Dance to Lead weaves together insight and experiential learning to bring relationship dynamics to life. The result is leadership agility practiced in the moment and carried forward -- shaping how leaders show up, engage and inspire their teams.Â
Leadership isn't just taught - it's felt.
