“All I have to do is look in their eyes…most of the time it doesn’t matter to me how proficient a dancer is, it’s about the feeling they have. There is nothing more beautiful that watching someone move from a place of truth, they get a little glimmer in their eye.”

-Mandy Moore SYTYCD Choreographer Master Teacher

“Dancers should be proactive about improving their skills. Whether they want to pursue a career in the arts or are dancing for enjoyment, taking class and researching dancers and choreographers will improve their performance and their chances of success. No one can do this work.”

-Christopher Freer NYC Talent Agent
