Do you have more slow twitch or fast twitch muscle fibers? Does your body process B vitamins quickly making you more sluggish sometimes? Maybe you’re like me and you have no idea. So what if a genetic test could tell you specific information like that and even more like information about nutrition, and heart health, plus caffeine and sleep?

It’s an at-home genetic test and wellness resource, specifically crafted with dance optimization in mind.

So this is the story of Sarah’s journey and the power of Dance RX.
