COVID-19 PROTOCOLS | As SDC prepares to open in September, we’d like to take a moment to share our COVID-19 protocols. Our first priority is to create and maintain a safe environment for all dancers.

INFLUENCERS VS. EDUCATORS | When dance competitions and studios plan their conventions and hire faculty, their first priority as a business is to earn money. The best way to do that is to schedule and promote teachers with a large following—sometimes at the expense of your dancer’s education.

FEATHERS | If you’ve ever taken a dance class with Michael Susten, you’ve probably noticed the green feather tattoo on his right arm as he karate chopped or dramatically reached his way through a Celine Dion song in his Lulu Lemon tank top.
