We had the good fortune of connecting with Ally Ponte and Kelly Schur and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ally and Kelly, what makes you happy? Why?
Where should we start? For us, happiness is flooding the dance floor with love, laughter and memories that last a lifetime. Whether we are teaching dance fitness classes in the studio or online, creating a custom flash mob, conducting GNO dance parties, wedding reception choreography, providing corporate wellness, training new instructors, or cutting up on TikTok, we are grateful to “get” to do it together.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Absolutely. As BFF’s and entrepreneurs, we created our company, Vibe Fitness, Inc® in 2013 with the purpose of helping people live their best dance life, get fit and have fun. Our mission has always remained the same…to enhance the overall health, wellness and quality of life through an innovative and inclusive approach to movement which results in positive changes for everybody and every body.

After three decades in the fitness and studio dance industries, we have the privilege of providing wellness through fitness education, instruction, programs and special events for both consumers and professionals. Our award winning boutique studio is located in Cumming with daily in-person, LIVEStream and On Demand classes.

We are passionate about the participant experience. CommUNITY has always been the heartbeat of our company. We are builders and uniters who value diversity, inclusion and acceptance. Our space is filled with love, positivity and abundance of good VIBES.

Throughout our careers, we have worked for many different companies, studios and fitness facilities. Each experience has been a valuable stepping stone in the path to launch our own studio. The opportunity to live out our personal and professional vision on a daily basis has been a dream come true. It is an honor to be trusted with the wellness transformation process. We are extremely grateful to walk (or in our case…dance) alongside our participants who are making positive changes on their journey to a healthier lifestyle and having fun along the way.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We are blessed to not only be business partners, but best friends. Naturally, the things we love to do often involve dancing (surprise, surprise). However, we share other interests like gardening, paddle boarding and playing games. When we are out and about, it’s important for us to support fellow small businesses. There are so many hidden gems around Atlanta, but for us it’s more about who you are with, then where you go. Friends make everything more fun!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
We are blessed to have incredible husbands who believe in us and support our journey. They are our sounding boards and best advisors…always listening, offering ideas, suggestions and most importantly, encouragement. Our family, friends and our “Vibe Tribe” community are truly the wind beneath our wings. In addition, we have been fortunate to learn from some amazing mentors who are the absolute best in the industry…..we are forever thankful.
