AAD is the first Positive Psychology based dance studio in the world!
Coming from the world of psychology and school counseling, Abby decided it was time to be a student again in the world of psychology. In September 2017, she enrolled in the Certification of Applied Positive Psychology Program through The Flourishing Center of NYC. In spring of 2018, AAD was officially the first positive psychology based dance studio in the world!
Positive Psychology is the scientific study of human flourishing.
