Teacher Convention

July 30 - August 2, 2010

Convention is a continuing education workshop designed to serve the needs of the professional dance educator. Emphasis is placed on the teacher's personal growth in technique and on providing original choreographed materials for our teachers, carefully notated in book form.  Teachers will also receive notes of the routines taught in the Student Sessions.  You must be 16 years or older to participate in Convention classes.

Jazz it Up!

The last day-and-half of Convention will feature a mini-intensive focusing on Jazz, Contemporary, Modern and Lyrical classes, ala SYTYCD.  Please check the daily schedule, when available, to reference the class subjects; But take note — no Tap or Ballet is being scheduled during this time frame.
