NYC and Dance Teacher Summit Recap

Two of our teachers, Katie and Katie, recently packed their bags and headed to NYC for the annual Dance Teacher Summit.  The Dance Teacher Summit is a three day convention where dance teachers from all over the U.S. come to participate in movement classes, workshops, and business seminars, led by some of the most well known teachers and choreographers in the business.


We had the opportunity to take class with Mia Michaels, Mandy Moore, Doug Caldwell, Ray Leeper, Al Blackstone, and many more.


Miss Katie even got to meet one of her favorite dancers, Dusty Button.


On our second night in NYC we were able to score tickets to Radio City Music Hall to see the Rockette's New York Spectacular and to beat all, our seats were in the 4th row. One word, AMAZING!!!  Mia Michaels, choreographer on SYTYCD and teacher at the summit, actually choreographed the New York Spectacular and we had the opportunity to learn a portion from the show at the summit.






Our last night in NYC was spent at The Capezio A.C.E Awards.  This is a very special event where upcoming choreographers present their work to hopefully win a scholarship to put on their own show in NYC.  The winner of this year's show was Martha Nichols, also a contestant on a past season of SYTYCD.


That brings us to the end of our trip.  We had a great time and gathered up as much information as we could to bring back to share with our students in the fall.  Fall classes start, August 29th! Registration is still open so contact the studio today to find the perfect class.  We are excited to get a new season started and see all of our smiling dancers!
