Like most Instructors, Kylie and Dan’s journeys were sparked by a special person that believed they had what it took. In this video, they reveal their shoulder tapping stories, why looking back helps you move forward, and how your impact can go beyond your classes.

Five Rockstar Qualities to Look Out For

It takes one to know one! Here’s how you can spot the next Instructor rockstar – and help them go beyond their 9 to 5.

1. Consistent Energy

Look for people who show up regularly, give full effort, and bring steady positivity to every class. Reliability is one of the strongest early signs of future leadership.

2. Natural Presence

Some participants naturally elevate the room – through confidence, musicality, vocal energy, or simply by lifting those around them.

3. Coachability Over Perfection

You don’t need perfection. Look for people who listen, adapt, ask questions, and stay curious. A growth mindset is far more valuable than flawless technique.

4. Natural Connectors

These are the people already building community. They learn names, welcome newcomers, and help others feel included. People are naturally drawn to them.

5. Thriving, Not Just Attending

Watch for participants who are ready for more – growing in confidence, excited about new releases, and curious about how classes come together behind the scenes.
