you're fresh off Thanksgiving and
looking forward to the holidays which
means more parties food and drinks so
now is actually a good time to start
thinking about you know staying in shape
during the season I agree and one local
fitness influencer is using her platform
to empower women to look good and feel
good through dance
she calls herself turn up with tansy and
tansy has gone viral with her dance
fitness videos on YouTube and one of
them has 500,000 views
she has close to 20 2005 on the gram
I've always wanted to do this Dave got
to say uma Oprah Oprah uma Nancy totty
totty tansy okay thank you for being
with us tancy yes thank you so much this
is so cool so tell us how you got into
all of this so I was actually a school
teacher and a basketball coach for about
seven years and I found myself telling
my students to chase their dreams and to
not let anyone stop them and just keep
going and investing in letting them know
that they could do whatever they wanted
and I was like you know what I need to
take my own advice
here and so I took a leap of faith and
chased my dream of teaching dance
fitness that is so cool
well what do you like about being an
influencer because this you know with
social media and the advent of the
iPhone this wouldn't have been possible
ten years ago yeah it's very cool I love
that no matter where people are in the
world I can show them what they're
capable of and like I get to show them
that they could do things that they
didn't think they could do and that is
very cool to watch and be a part of
absolutely and empowering and tougher
about women supporting women movement so
I I just started sharing my workouts
online I thought that I could bring this
fun energetic way to get results and and
I could take a little bit of credit for
the the movement but I really have to
give credit to the women who have become
a part of this community with me they
just started celebrating each other and
I think more than support just like
saying I see you Queen like I see you
I see you get after it and it's just
because of that I think it's allowed us
to live more authentically and
unapologetically yes and to go for it
there's nothing like women supporting
women and you feel like you can go for
it right and no no competing no
comparing look where can we find you on
the gram on social media so turn up with
tancy turnout because we get crazy we
get after it we get wild turn up with ta
