CASIE GOSHOW

“I always loved dance,” says Casie Goshow, “but I had amazing parents who told me I could literally be anything I wanted to be and that they would support me. … After I booked a few jobs in New York City, I knew I had what it took to be successful, but I had to be smart about it. I needed to brand myself and create something memorable besides just dancing and choreography. That is when I met [Ann] Elyse [Urquidi] and we created GoShow Yourself.” The clothing line encourages customers to be authentic and feel good about themselves: two things that haven´t always been easy for Goshow. “As a dancer in the industry, it is really hard to have confidence in yourself 100 percent of the time when people are constantly telling you no. … It was also difficult being from a small town [Harleysville, Pennsylvania]. I was scared to truly be myself as well as love who I wanted to love.” She now enjoys helping kids going through similar challenges. “There will always be people who don´t approve of things, from something as small as your clothing to as big as your lifestyle, but at the end of the day this is the only life we get and I plan on living it fully and for myself.” -GH
