When our team started this company, my mission was to return back to a time when convention education celebrated dancers' abilities, learning skills, and artistry.

Our events celebrate each and every one of our attendees, their teachers, and families, bringing the focus back to a positive experience shared by all. This is our dance revelation, and we hope to REVEL with you soon!
