Meet Some of Our Franchise Owners

Joy C.

Owner, DivaDance® McKinney/Allen

I want women, like myself, to be able to be free, gain confidence, and feel good about themselves. As a mom and wife, I found myself getting lost in these roles and needed an outlet that was just for me and where I could rediscover who Joy is. At my very first DivaDance class, I left feeling confident, sexy, and proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone. My goal is to bring these feelings to people in my area because everyone needs self-care!

Erica_DivaDance_PlanoRockwall

Erica F.

Owner, DivaDance® Plano/Rockwall

I immediately connected with the company’s core values of confidence and community. Even before I tried my first class, I knew I wanted to bring DivaDance to my area to help others, but more importantly to be an example for my two young daughters. I wanted to show them they can do anything if they are determined and put in the work.

Danielle L.

Owner, DivaDance® San Antonio

I had a strong desire to create a space where people could feel loved and accepted and beautiful just as they are. Once I felt the power of that room I knew this is exactly what I wanted to bring to our city. We are growing together, learning together, and impacting San Antonio together one sexy, sweaty class at a time.

Meet Our Head Diva

JAMI STIGLIANO, FOUNDER & CEO

Former music industry executive Jami Stigliano has made it her mission to empower women through a passion for music and dance. Back when Madonna and Mariah were topping the charts, Jami honed her skills choreographing and teaching dance routines for herself and friends, which led to her reign as Captain of her dance team, growing up near Waco, Texas.

After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Corporate Communication at The University of Texas at Austin — and putting in time as a Texas cheerleader and President of the 4,000 member sorority community — Jami developed her career in digital marketing and music management at the legendary record label Jive Records, where she led extensive campaigns and album releases for a roster of artists including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Ciara, T-Pain, and P!nk.

While managing both established and emerging recording artists, producing video shoots, developing creative global marketing campaigns and orchestrating promotional tours, Jami got the inspiration to launch DivaDance. Her goal was to create an inclusive, stress-free dance class experience for women of New York City – a place where most dance class options catered to Broadway-bound or music video starlets.

In 2015, Jami’s passion project and successful side hustle became her primary focus. Although still heavily involved and connected to some of the music industry’s biggest names, she has led DivaDance to become a strong emerging franchise brand nationally – with big plans to become the #1 brand for dance choreography classes for adults.
