What Dance Teachers Are Saying

Awesome! I'm loving it so I'm sure we will be adding more teachers soon! Thank you!

Kyra Davis

Kennedy Dance

I was surprised at the level of customer service! So quick to help me try to resolve technical issues and supportive in making sure I understood how to proceed!

Kelly Halliburton

I highly recommend this Acrobatics (and Dance) teaching program. In the past, our Acro teachers have been former high-leveled competitive gymnasts; however, recently, our Acro teachers were recreational or cheer tumblers and aren't always sure of the SKILLS and DRILLS to build the correct progressions for our less experienced tumblers.

That Dance Place Performing Arts, LLC

Love this ! Thank you so much. I will be using all these moves tomorrow in my Intermediate Tap Class.

Please keep these coming.

Christina Phillips-Kelly

Thanks Kimberly!
Always loved the technique of your students. I'm so excited to learn your secrets!

Tracee Brann

DTCE has allowed me to grow so much as a teacher and has allowed me to integrate new training techniques into my classes without having to completely change my teaching style.

Marissa Fiorentino

I don’t know what list I got on to receive your email promo, but I just wanted to say thank you for offering some free content. Your other content is reasonably priced and seems to be pretty inclusive from what it seems. I’ll be mentioning your program to my friend who runs the studio I mainly teach at to see if she’d be willing to invest a little into our programs. I enjoyed and got a lot out of it! I’m Acrobatic Arts Certified in Module 1, and the combos are something that’s hard to find to know what can go with what. I didn’t grow up with Acro but I love teaching it and learning the possibilities. Thanks again!

Emily Nickinello

Loved the videos. Helping me so much with lesson planning.

Michelle Bonos

I want you to know how appreciative I am of these resources. I see the blood, sweat, and tears that must have gone into it! I love the number of options this program offers. I’m just trying to decide what’s best for my school! 

Lauren-Elaine Hunt

Dance Studio 150

I would be happy to take a few moments to share my appreciation for this wonderful resource.

Dance The Cutting Edge has been such a positive addition to the way I structure and plan my classes. It has inspired my creativity and has helped keep me from feeling that teacher burnout we can all feel from time to time. It has been a great tool for keeping classes fresh, helping the students stay engaged and it provides great skills to help maintain our students technical foundations.
I am especially grateful for the help and guidance I received from the DTCE team after purchasing some courses. They helped me figure out how to navigate and access them through their new website update's. They were more than patient and happy to accommodate for any confusion it may have caused, and their response time was quick! I really appreciated that .
As a dance educator and business owner I am always looking for areas to grow in knowledge. DTCE has been a great resource for that and I would be happy to recommend it to any of my colleagues and staff. Thank you!
