Since opening her first dance studio at age 20, Misty Lown has grown into a powerful leader, author and philanthropist in the global dance community through her tenacious determination. When her path crossed with Dave’s at a conference many years ago, he observed her passion and preparedness and knew she was someone worth investing in. Thus began Dave and Misty’s mentorship, which bloomed into a beautiful friendship built on mutual respect and inspiration. When Misty pursued her dream of running her own dance studio instead of studying in New York to become a professional dancer, people thought she was crazy to pass up the opportunity. But she understood her calling even though she didn’t have the knowledge or skills required to be successful in business at the time. Recognizing those gaps motivated her to conduct her own investigation and learn from experts in the field. Now she works with studios all over the world, providing them with training resources and growth models that make the power of dance accessible for thousands of young people. Her service mindset is fueled by the desire to give back the way other people gave to her. Whatever Misty does, she does it with all her heart and attention, which means her influence grows at both an individual and community level. Main Topics
