ConfiDANCE Studios
ConfiDANCE Studios is a hybrid studio that provides dance instruction, beginner wellness, and personal development workshops. ConfiDANCE Studios was created by local NEPA native Alicia Duque, starting as an incentive to get local women moving and feeling confident doing so. With her background in dance and development, Alicia created an online membership that provides Zoom lives and recordings for dance fitness on-demand classes 3 days a week. She provides private dance lessons and has organized and led dance instruction for the NEPA community events such as "Dancing Under The Stars" in Public Square in Wilkes Barre, sponsored by Action Together NEPA; ConfiDANCE Workshops at The Ritz Theater In Scranton; ConfiDANCE weekly at MFit in Pittston; and monthly fun dance fitness instruction on PA LIVE! Alicia made it her goal this year to get NEPA Moving and women feeling good in their skin, no matter their size or shape! Alicia looks forward to making more movements in NEPA by partnering with schools and women's organizations. Alicia believes we need more female leaders and hopes by helping women step into their ConfiDANCE it will help them LEAD the way to what they want in their life. Alicia amplifies her message of movement and the development of female leadership with her podcast The Alicia Show.
