Our January 2025 workshop at Montclair State University was truly unforgettable! It was inspiring to see dancers of all ages and skill levels—whether eager students or experienced educators—unite in their shared love for dance. The atmosphere was electric, and the stunning venue created an ideal setting for a day brimming with creativity and camaraderie.



A heartfelt thank you to our incredible guest faculty for sharing your expertise and enthusiasm at the workshop. Your presence truly elevated the day, and we’re deeply grateful for the inspiration and energy you brought!
