This has been wonderful! I have learned so much this week. I opened my studio 7 years ago when I was a senior in college. I thought my dance teacher would mentor me, but I was wrong! I had no idea what I was doing and didn’t have anyone to talk to. I have been attending DMI since I was kid and found out about DTC when I was there. DTC has opened my eyes and provided me with the tools to make my studies even better. Great classes and seminars! -Lauren

Hello Teachers! Thommie Retter here, I am so excited about the products my wife Becca and I are preparing for the 2014 MusicWorks season and we cannot wait to present all of it at the finest dance teacher seminar in our nation. Last Year under the direction of Darryl and Linda Retter, DTC: Dance Teacher Connection, set the stage for generations to come for a place dance teachers can go to congregate as a group, study, share and not only remember why they do what they do but get reenergized and fired up to bring the best possible dance education to their students.
Can anyone say, “Advanced Tap Routines”? Well, I’ve got em and they are headed to your class room along with many other usable Thommie Retter routines for jazz and tap.
My wife Becca knows you love Shirley Temple and that is why she is bringing you a new series called Shirley Temple On The Dance Floor, The Remixes. With the help of musical genius Brandon Jarrett, Becca is bringing back the classics with new and sassy arrangements that are sure to put smiles on the faces of students and parents alike!
Can’t wait to see everyone this summer at DTC!
