I’ve been working with Candice and highly recommend her support and expertise. Not only does she put on an amazing Zumba class but she is also a superb coach. I'm the type that really struggles when trying something new but once I find my groove I run with it. Candice is a great coach in helping me to recognize and to build the strengths/potential I have to bring to dance fitness instruction. And it's just fun working with her...she's joyful, spirited, wise, and intuitive!

In large part due to Candice's coaching, support and guidance, I was able to successfully launch my greatest artistic vision and business dream! In our sessions she advised me with her worldly wisdom concerning the details of marketing, artistic performance, and personal relations, but she always found ways to connect my desires for business success with my deepest soul's path. She has a unique gift of bridging the heart, mind, body and spirit in all facets of life: working with Candice gave me the confidence and alignment to put my artistic vocation out into the world.
Karima, Client, Chicago, IL
Candice was my first instructor and trainer. I literally spent months driving to Portland and back just to spend the day getting a lesson from her. She has a way of braiding so much more than technique into her teachings. It’s as though she diagnoses you from the core and sneaks in the medicine to heal that you didn’t even know you needed. Candice is wise beyond her years, and her ability to help you recognize exactly what YOU need is remarkable and brilliant.
Mollie, Client, Bend, OR
Candice Schutter co-hosted my teacher training and over the course of three, very tiring days, cast a spell over me that has boosted confidence in myself and given me the energy to get out there and make positive changes in my life.

Candice Schutter is your virtual trainer


"I have been teaching dance fitness since 2001 to students of all ages and ability levels (preschoolers, seniors, fitness fanatics, professional dancers, brand newbies, you name it!). Over the past decade, I have served as an educational consultant and copywriter for two internationally-renowned fitness companies, giving me an intimate and invaluable understanding of the industry behind the scenes. In 2006 I launched a successful hoopdance company, hosting sold-out classes and traveling across the US and abroad training teachers as a HoopGirl™ Master Trainer. I am a certified Nia™ Black Belt and am honored to lead jam-packed Zumba™ classes four times a week just a few short blocks from my home in Portland, Oregon. I've been coaching dance fitness pros since early in 2005; seeing a new teacher step into the spotlight is one of my greatest joys. My absolute passion (second only to dance) is my primary vocation as a life coach specializing in personal power. I am an avid writer, most at home when authoring content for programs that empower and inspire others to step into their authentic voice and full power."

"BoogieBiz Basics is a culmination

of all my passions, putting over a decade

of specialized training to work for YOU!"


Coaching from Candice is invaluable. She truly is the catalyst for action beyond mere insight. Her expert guidance takes you from observing and describing your challenges to moving through them to a new awareness and accountability.
Jennifer, Virtual Coaching Client

BoogieBiz Basics™ is for you if...


You have recently certified or licensed in dance fitness.
Have you completed your dance fitness certification but you are unsure of your readiness to teach? Could you use some insider tips on how to get started? Do you wonder what it takes to find your voice and swagger?

You love to dance, but wonder if you have what it takes.
Dance fitness may have changed your life (and your body!); however, the idea of leading a class leaves your palms sweaty and your head spinning. Learn how to overcome doubt and make your dreams a reality.

You are already teaching and feeling burnt out or unsure.
You jumped into teaching with both feet (good for you!), yet you struggle to build your classes and/or overcome a creativity plateau. Perhaps you are totally rockin' it, but you could use some fine-tuning when it comes to the foundations of teaching and/or business development.


You could really use some basic business know-how.
Like it or not, teaching dance fitness is a business... a fact that I happen to love! Why? Because building your own business can be one of the most gratifying experiences of your life, IF you have some basic knowledge. Learn to make informed choices about: where to teach, how much to charge, building an online presence, financial/legal realities, and more.

You don't just want to teach, you want to change lives!
True success (full classes AND a full heart) is contingent upon knowing who you are as an instructor. As an experienced power coach, I will ask you the right questions to help you refine and define your own unique signature style. Change lives by being exactly who you were born to be, inspiring others to do the same. Teaching is a path of personal growth, learn how to embrace the lessons along the way.
