(3) Save Time—Finding age-appropriate music and creating structured, progressive class plans are already done for you.

20 weeks of NEW tap class plans for solid beginner students are coming! Darryl Retter created these based on his own classes, and THEY WORK.
You can preview and purchase this new five-month class plan product on July 9!
Miss Fabergé has made it acro her life, and her work speaks for itself. But I want to share my own thoughts here:
Studio owners, we are always looking for new ways to increase student class count at our studios. Offering acro – before or after a "core" class such as jazz or ballet – can boost your student count. This way, your student can take a "block" of classes.
Miss Fabergé's classes will be available to preview or purchase on July 9!
We’re heading to Los Angeles today! Looking forward to see you all at our Virtual Dance Teacher Connection this Sunday! There’s so much in store and we can’t wait to CONNECT with you!
