Studio history
DivaDance was founded by Jami Stigliano, who began by choreographing Paula Abdul-style routines at sleepovers in her Texas bedroom. After captaining a dance team at The University of Texas and working as a music-industry executive in New York, she decided in 2015 to leave the music business and create the judgment-free adult dance community she couldn't find elsewhere. The brand grew from that mission into a nationwide franchise operating 50+ studios across the U.S. and Mexico City.
