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.

We’re excited to offer an incredible training opportunity for our dancers ages 12 and up! Brooklyn O’Connor will be joining us for two exclusive Strength & Tricks Masterclasses designed to help dancers become stronger, more athletic, and more versatile performers.
Monday, August 10
5:30–7:00 PM
Tuesday, August 11
12:30–2:00 PM
Ages: 12+
Cost: $50 per class
These masterclasses will focus on learning exciting new tricks, building strength, increasing flexibility, improving body control, and developing the power needed for today’s dance world.
The expectations for dancers continue to grow. Whether they dream of performing on Broadway, competing, or pursuing dance in college, strength and athleticism are just as important as beautiful technique. Dancers who invest in this type of training gain confidence, reduce their risk of injury, and develop skills that set them apart in auditions and performances.
This is not a class we offer every week. It’s a unique opportunity to train with a guest instructor in a small-group setting where dancers will receive individualized attention and corrections.
Space is limited to ensure every dancer gets the most out of the experience. Once the class is full, registration will close.
If your dancer is ready to challenge themselves, learn new skills, and head into the fall season stronger than ever, don’t wait to reserve their spot!
We can’t wait to see everyone there!
