Our Story

Here at Second Turn Dance, we recognize the beauty, wonder and transforming power of dance. But we find that the world of dance is getting increasingly expensive with ever higher training fees and dance costume costs. Our goal is to make dance wear and dance costumes more affordable and accessible to children of all backgrounds by selling gently used, high quality dance wear at affordable prices. All profits from the sale of Second Turn Dance costumes and dancewear will be used to support institutions committed to making dance more affordable and accessible to children and their families.

Second Turn Dance is founded by Divya Philip, an International Baccalaureate high school student in Maryland. Divya has trained and danced competitively for over 10 years at some of the top studios in Maryland and has won numerous awards at regional and national dance competitions. She believes in sharing her passion for dance and teaches dance to elementary school students through the Dance Club she founded. Her favorite dance styles are lyrical and contemporary, and she plans to continue her passion for dance in college.
