Starz gets INTENSE!!!
For the last several years, studios have been asking us: “When are you going to do a dedicated Convention/Intensive?” Well, now it’s finally happening! We know that students come back to the studio refreshed and energized after they attend conventions. We know that studio directors and teachers come away with renewed excitement and new ideas after taking seminars at conventions. We want to provide everyone with that renewed enthusiasm and vigor as you enter the 2025 competition season! That is why we created an exciting weekend of incredible classes for your students to learn from some of the most amazing faculty around! As well as seminars for you and your staff to collaborate with other directors, teachers and some of the most innovative and creative people in the business! We are almost ready to release the full weekend schedule, but for dancers, we will offer Musical Theater, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Street Jazz and Improv classes. For teachers and directors, we have a “Teachers Seminar” and “Communications & Business Seminar”. Both Seminars will be conducted by Kyle Kahn, and anyone who has taken his seminars in the past will attest to his acumen, originality and ingenuity! |
Full Schedule will be posted soon!!
