We support the people behind the performance by helping dance teams build the team culture their team deserves

Our Philosophy

Fundamentally, we believe that high performance and high satisfaction can and should go hand-in-hand, and when they do, our teams reach new heights.

In its simplest form, success doesn’t need to cost your team their joy and love of dance.

By offering partnership and support, we guide teams to invite intention into every moments, leading them to the optimal state in which every team deserves to operate.

About Take Heart

At Take Heart, we partner with teams to create intentional experiences and resources that help increase presence, purpose, connection, and clarity throughout the season.

Our work is grounded in a simple idea: Increased presence leads to higher performance.

Teams perform best when people have the space and support to be intentional about how they show up.

Meet Lindsey

Founder Lindsey Jutting has experience that spans competitive dance, coaching and private dance education, and professional dance as NFL Cheerleader with the Minnesota Vikings.

Lindsey has always felt a unique burden for team culture. She aims to create a resource that she wishes she had access to as both a dancer and coach.

In addition to the Take Heart mission, Lindsey loves being a follower of Jesus and pursuing her faith. You can typically find her moving around the world for her husband Jackson’s hockey career (currently calling Sweden “home”), enjoying nature, or spending quality time with loved ones.

A Quick Note From Our Founder

“When I was a young dancer, I spent many of my years wondering what specific value I brought to the team and other years realizing the importance of having a strong team culture.

Take Heart is created to serve that young dancer I once was: to offer athletes a space grow and reflect beyond dance technique, and to give teams a partner in building the team culture they desire.”
