Words from B.A.V.P.A. Founder, Danae Shanti

After twenty years of performing, producing, teaching and recording I felt that it is time to pass the torch and give fully all I have learned and developed. I joyfully designed this course to be fun, rewarding and transformative, with the success of my students at heart.

I hope you will enjoy this opportunity to grow yourself and shine in the world both on stage and off!

In Support of Your Full Potential,
Danae Shanti
