What makes the DTEE Unique?
3 TRACKS of study that combine THREE Industries in ONE Event!
TRACK 1 – MOVEMENT & CHOREOGRAPHY
You're a dancer... so let's DANCE! Be assured, this is not a typical convention where you will just jump in to class and learn choreography. These are strategic classes that will get your own body moving as well as showing you how to stay current in teaching each discipline.
Technique – We will delve into technique like no else can. So many people hear that infamous number one critique in judging...clean up your technique! Yet the dancers today want tricks and shock value to win competitions. Don't miss these classes to receive and share new technique tools with your students.
Progressions – Here's a great place to make technique FUN for your students. You will walk away with a FREE DVD of innovative and new progressions so that you can take class without trying to remember choreography. This is our gift to you.
Choreography – It's one of the most subjective subjects in the industry. Where do you start? Right here! Don't miss these two hot classes on choreography. Class 1 will be a live session where the choreographer will create a piece on the spot in an hour with your help. Watch the process come alive right in front of your eyes! Class 2 will be an interactive experience where you will have several choreographers at your fingertips to ask them what motivates them, how to begin, what is most important to them when creating a piece, and more. You'll be surprised at how much you will grow as a choreographer after these sessions.
