proballroom 3 tips to a queen-like posture 👇

Notice how you’re sitting right now. Shoulders slouched? Muscles tight?
I bet you don’t even notice these little details in everyday life. But here’s the truth: no designer dress or bag can fix what comes from within.. and work with your body is the best way to start.

💃 I’ve been dancing ballroom for 30 years and teaching many women who come with slouched shoulders, tired posture, and the weight of everyday life written all over their bodies. And every time, DANCE becomes the tool that lifts them back up. Both physically and emotionally.

Because when you PRACTICE POSTURE THROUGH DANCE, you don’t just move better...
You start carrying yourself like a woman who has found her spark again 🔥

Save these 3 tips to begin with:

1️⃣ Imagine your crown lifting to the sky while your heels stay grounded.
2️⃣ Let your shoulders melt down and your chest open with ease.
3️⃣ Feel your feet rooting like anchors — press through big toe, little toe, and heel, and grow tall from that strength.

proballroom So apparently this is the video that made us famous 😅
Not world championships, not TV shows, not 30 years of dancing… Our wedding dance 💍
Millions of views later, people still ask how it all happened.

Did you know that we actually WON our entire wedding???
😍🤯 Yes, a $100,000 wedding in America.
(Still sounds crazy when I say it)

If you want the full story — how we won it, what it was like, and what it really meant —
comment the word “WEDDING” below 👇

💡 Fun fact:
The most popular questions I still get are:
1️⃣ “Where is this dress from?”
2️⃣ “Can we see the full dance video to learn it?”

And I have answers to both 😏

If you want to know where the dress is from — comment “DRESS”

And if you want to see the full video and learn this dance — stay tuned 💃

proballroom HOW MUCH WE SPENT IN ITALY BELOW 👇💸

Every time we go to a tango festival I whisper:
“This time we won’t spend that much.”
And every time the universe goes: “Sweetheart… please” 😅

So here’s the brutally honest math behind improving our dance in 3 days in Italy:

💃 Milongas
$40 per person → $80 per couple × 3 nights = $240
Live orchestra, maestros, emotional damage included.

🎻 Live concerts
$45 per person → $90 for two × 3 = $270
Bandoneon + maestros + you questioning your existence.

🧑‍🏫 Group classes
$45 per person → $90 for two
Multiply by “a lot,” because we don’t fly across the world to relax.

👠 Private lessons
$150–$170 per couple × 4 minimum
Maestro moves your axis 2mm → your identity upgrades.

📌 TOTAL so far: around $3000
Individually innocent. Together? A luxury vacation.

✈️ Flights — $2700 for two
🏨 Hotel — $1040 for 4 nights
🚕 Uber — around $150–180
🍽️ Food — about $1000 (“less” only if you have no joy)

🧮 GRAND TOTAL for 3 days: ~ $8000
Yes, eight thousand dollars… to dance better, feel better, move better, be better.
And the best part? We’d do it again with zero hesitation.

We’re not paying for steps.
We’re paying for: beauty, confidence, presence, energy, passion, connection, identity — becoming a version of ourselves we actually like.

We come home softer, stronger, more awake.
Yes, poorer in dollars… but richer in everything that matters 😌

proballroom Had to make sure my legs were even!…

Going viral = bringing attention to yourself.
But honestly… doing anything brings attention to yourself 💁‍♀️

Especially when you start dancing.
Some people will love it. Others will hate it.

You either continue and follow your passion,
or you stop because of what others think.

Which one would you choose? 😌👇

proballroom Q&A in the comments!

proballroom Our dance trip to Rome was unforgettable 😍

And if you asked me how many times we’ve traveled for dance… I’ve already lost count.

It doesn’t just help me grow and explore myself, dance lets me explore the world too 😌

Where would you travel right now?

proballroom “Discussions about Veronika’s shoulder blades”… or how to go viral in two days 😅

Funny how people split into two categories:
those who tried to criticize me for whatever they thought was wrong with me,
and those who actually saw the point I was making.

POSTURE changes everything.
It shifts your energy from the outside to the inside.
You can wear the most expensive dress, but if you’re insecure, afraid to show yourself, afraid to be yourself, it will always be your energy first, and everything else second 😉

DANCE teaches you the same.
Not being afraid of being “too much.”
Not being afraid of being you.

While some people criticize you, you’re simply getting better: improving, growing, in every part of your life, not just on the dance floor.

proballroom I help women dance, glow & stop apologizing for existing 😉💃➡️ @proballroom

proballroom Let’s be honest… ballroom dance isn’t just moving your body around.

It’s a culture. A whole vibe. A space of grace.
Not a gym. Not a beach. Not your living room Zumba.

So yeah, how you show up matters 😉

You don’t need rhinestones (yet), but you do need a little intention and elegance.

✅ Wear this, not chaos:
• Fitted, stylish clothes you can actually move in: bodysuit + skirt, stretchy but classy dress, or leggings with a refined top.

• Soft, danceable flats or character shoes.
No ballroom or tango shoes yet? Fine. Just don’t come in your dad’s sneakers 🙃

• Sneakers are okay for your first couple of lessons, but switch fast, that rubber sole is a joint assassin.

• Hair pulled back, no lip gloss hair whips.

• Calm, confident energy — your best accessory 🔥

💡 Simple rule: if you’d wear it to the gym, the beach, or a hip-hop class… it’s not for ballroom.

❌ Hard no:
• Old gym sets, stretched-out leggings, or shapeless tanks.

• Sports bras pretending to be tops.

• Beachwear and cropped tees.

• Flip-flops, mules, open-heel anything, or rubber-sole sneakers.

• Jewelry that jingles louder than your confidence.

This isn’t about being “fancy”.
It’s about respecting the space you’re stepping into, and yourself.

When you dress with care, your movement changes. Your mood changes. And trust me, it shows ✨

Who’s excited? 💃

proballroom I know so many women who’ve had this quiet dream for years…
to dance.
to feel beautiful again.
to actually be in their body, not just drag it from one Zoom call to another.

But let’s be honest, the hardest part isn’t the dance.
It’s pressing start.
And not quitting two weeks later.

“I’m too old”
“I need to lose weight first”
“I don’t have a partner”
“My schedule is insane”

I’ve heard it all.
And yet, every single woman who pushed past those excuses says the same thing later:
“I wish I started sooner”

Because dance isn’t just about steps.
It’s therapy with better music.

It gives you back:
🌹 connection with your body (so you move with grace instead of stiffness)
🌹 confidence that quietly shows up in everything you do
🌹 calm mind, better mood, lighter energy
🌹 and that little sparkle you thought was gone for good

After 30 years in the ballroom world, I’ve seen what truly changes women, and it’s not perfection, it’s permission.

So I put everything I wish someone told me before my first class into one free guide:

✨ Ballroom Beginner’s Guide ✨

Comment “Ballroom” and I’ll send it to you, because your story deserves to have a rhythm again 💃

proballroom And I try to fit it all into one day... 😁
Happy Friday, everyone! Don’t forget to dance this weekend! 💃
