About Seacoast Stilettos

Seacoast Stilettos is a mission-driven, trauma-informed dance and movement studio in Peabody, Massachusetts. At Seacoast Stilettos, we believe there is room for everyone on the dance floor — welcoming adults of all identities, backgrounds, and experience levels into classes ranging from heels and burlesque to yoga, ballet, and contemporary. Founded in 2018 by Emily Chandra, a Newburyport native, BFA-trained dancer, and E-RYT yoga instructor, Seacoast Stilettos has grown into an award-winning community hub for movement, healing, and self-expression. Emily has performed professionally across Boston and New York, led retreats and workshops globally, and her work has been featured by Big Night Entertainment Group and on NBC Boston. In 2024, Seacoast Stilettos received the Best Dance Studio award from Boston Business Women Magazine.
