Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!  All of us at Turn It Up Dance Challenge are thankful for being able to work with such talented dancers throughout the year!


Enjoy the day with your family and eat lots of turkey and stuffing and potatoes and cranberry sauce and more turkey and more stuffing and you get the idea :) Don't forget to save room for dessert!

Dance Convention in Warwick, RI!

Master Class Teachers!!
Last Sunday on November 21 we held our second dance convention ever!  It was such a fun and exciting day for everyone involved!  There were some really amazing teachers...Peter Sabasino and Channing Cooke, both from Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance, to name a few!  Peter taught Broadway and Tap, of course, and Channing taught Contemporary.  Sarah-Kay Jerome from Static Noyze taught Hip-Hop and Cailin Caskey, who has a number of broadway shows under her belt, taught Jazz.  Macy Reeves, out of Broadway Connection, taught a Leaps and Turns class and also spoke during the seminar for studio owners and teachers, alongside Suzanne Gerety, co-founder of dancestudioowner.com.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended, we were so happy to have all of you there! Congratulations to all of the dancers that were recognized for their outstanding skill and effort...we hope you all enjoyed your prizes and accept your invitations to be a part of our Dance Team at Nationals this summer!

We are looking forward to seeing you all during competition season and are so excited to plan more dance conventions for Fall 2011!
