Bringing bright colors, fun
and lots of dance moves
to a room near you!
Hi Friend! I'm Colleen Carswell
I grew up on stage, dancing all the things - jazz, lyrical, ballet, tap - you name it, I danced it. I sang in bands, choirs, recorded CDs, played piano. In the sixth grade I tried my hand (mouth?) at trumpet, but that simply wasn't my jam.
When I was 21 (so a year ago .. times 17) I started working on cruise ships in the entertainment department. I lived and worked onboard for eight months at a time. It's where I feel in love with systems, processes, SOPs and saw how a business can thrive despite high turnover! But I digress..
Sadly, my smooths moves and singin' chops weren't cruise-star approved, BUT I was a mean emcee for karaoke, bingo, and ... towel folding? They even let me teach line dancing on the pool deck and get the party started for theme nights. At one point I was a giant dancing panda in a parade. Clearly they know talent when they see it.
All this to say. I know how to bring the fun and energize a room. And I would love love LOVE for that room to be yours! Have an event coming up and need a not-so-boring speaker? If you're okay with bright colors and big smiles ...
