Jami Stigliano turned her passion for dance and people into DivaDance, a fast-growing franchise that helps adults build confidence through choreography, connection and community. Jami Stigliano's vision for DivaDance started when she realized the dance classes she was going to weren't helping her achieve her goals of having fun and meeting new people. That's when she turned to franchising, with hopes of bringing the community-based experience of DivaDance to more cities. Stigliano encourages future business owners to seek out other avenues of funding, like Small Business Administration (SBA) loans or angel investors. We're intentionally creating community between people, not just in the studio, but beyond," she says.
