TDC ALUMNI ON TOUR!

❤️ We are SO incredibly excited to share that TDC alum Izzy Herz is officially joining the FIRST BROADWAY NATIONAL TOUR of BOOP! The Musical! 🎭✨

Watching Izzy’s journey from growing up and training at The Dance Collective to now heading out on a Broadway National Tour is one of those full-circle moments that makes us unbelievably proud. Izzy has worked so hard for this. Her talent, dedication, work ethic, and love for performing have taken her to some pretty incredible places — and this is a HUGE one. ❤️

There is truly nothing better than watching one of our TDC dancers chase a dream and then LIVE IT. Izzy, your entire TDC family is cheering you on! We cannot wait to watch you light up stages across the country with BOOP! 🌟 FROM TDC TO THE BROADWAY NATIONAL TOUR!!! We are so proud of you, Izzy! ❤️🖤

Contemporary Masterclass: Ages 9-99

I am incredibly excited to welcome THAYNE JASPERSON back to The Dance Collective on September 24th!

Thayne is an original cast member of HAMILTON on Broadway, and his professional career spanning Broadway, television, film, and some of the biggest stages in the industry. Our dancers have the opportunity to learn directly from someone who knows firsthand what it takes to work at this level and I get to bring that experience right into my studio.

What makes these masterclasses especially meaningful to me is that Thayne has been working with TDC for TEN YEARS!

This isn’t someone who simply comes in once a year to teach a class. Thayne has developed a real relationship with my studio and our dancers over the past decade. For the last five years, he has also choreographed competition solos and group dances for TDC, working closely with the dancers and becoming an important part of their training.

Those relationships have extended far beyond TDC.

Thayne has uses TWO TDC alumni in Broadway’s Red Bucket Follies and one TDC alum in the Easter Bonnet Competition on Broadway!

THAT is why I believe so strongly in giving the dancer access to working professionals.

Of course the dancers are learning choreography, but they’re also learning how to walk into a room and adapt. How to pick up material quickly. How to take corrections. How to perform with confidence. How to work professionally. They’re developing relationships with people who are actively, working in the industry.

I’ve actually watched those relationships create opportunities for TDC dancers.

For our littlest dancers, these experiences are an incredible way to start building confidence early, I want them to discover that taking class from someone new isn’t scary, it’s FUN! They get to experience new movement, new energy and a teacher who has spent his career performing at an extraordinary level.

For the older dancers, these rooms are an essential part of their education. Whether they eventually want to attend competitions, intensives, college programs, auditions or pursue dance professionally, they need experience walking into rooms with a different choreographers and being able to learn, adapt and perform.

You absolutely do not need to be a competition dancer to participate. You don’t need to have professional aspirations. If your dancer loves to dance, this opportunity is for them.

Having access to an artist with Thayne’s experience without traveling to NYC or LA is something I never take for granted.

Ten years with TDC. Five years creating competition choreography for TDC dancers. Two TDC alumni given opportunities to perform in Broadway events.

Those things don’t happen from attending one masterclass. They coming from building relationships, showing up, working hard, and continuing to put yourself in rooms where you can learn and grow.

Thats one of the biggest reasons I continue bringing these incredible artists to TDC.

You never know where one class, one connection, or one opportunity might lead.

I can’t wait to celebrate 10 YEARS of Thayne and TDC on September 24th!

TESTIMONIALS

I Cannot Recommend the Dance Collective Enough!

I began dancing at the Dance Collective when I was a junior in highschool, although I had worked with Ally on shows previously. I was incredibly nervous, being new to dance but the environment that Ally and her teachers created alleviated any worry or anxiety I had. I...
