Masterclasses
The Dance Collective regularly hosts dance professionals from NYC, Southern California, and elsewhere, to enrich dance training for our students. These industry professionals bring expertise often not available locally to our studio. From Rosero McCoy who choreographs music videos in Hollywood in addition to dancing himself to Thayne Jasperson who currently performs in Hamilton on Broadway, the breadth of real world experience our students are exposed to is profound.
Additionally our guest dance artists identify students they feel would be appropriate for our annual competitions. Their expertise and real world experience give them exceptional abilities to identify early talent. We are grateful for their ongoing support in this regard.
You can find out more about our guest dance artists on their bios page.
