SassClass
Founder: Julia Sokol
Company Description: Specifically designed to help women harness their feminine energy and forge female communities, SassClass offers empowering dance class programs that build toward a particularly glamorous final performance: a professional music video shoot.
What inspired you to start your company?
“I created SassClass because I wanted something like this to exist in the world! I have danced all my life, and I wanted the benefits of dance and performance to be accessible to ALL women. Traditional dance studios offer only drop-in classes (i.e. single, pay-as-you-go classes) … Drop-in classes are impersonal by nature, whereas in a program, women get to form bonds over time—and community is very important to me and a huge part of SassClass.”
How is your company generating positive change?
“At SassClass, women step far beyond their comfort zones and experience a huge boost in confidence as a result. They take this confidence with them out into the world as a bolder version of themselves emerges. Many of our students make radical, positive changes in their lives after SassClass, including leaving their jobs, starting businesses, leaving bad relationships, taking on new projects, etc. One of our students left her PR career to become an actress when she discovered how much she loved being in front of the camera at SassClass!”
Featured Product: SassClass Gift Certificate, choose your own amount
Product Description: “Treat the women in your life to the empowering, transformative SassClass experience! Our gift certificates are available in custom denominations, expire 1 year from date of purchase, and will be sent digitally to the email address provided at checkout. For reference, our drop-in classes are $20/class while our programs range from $180-300.”
