CONVENTION
THE AE CONVENTION EXPERIENCE
Contemporary, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Hiphop & more
At Artists Emerge, we believe in continuing education for teachers, choreographers and studio directors. There will be a mixture of movement based and seminar style classes to cater to what every teacher prefers.
Subjects like the creative process, improvisational techniques, progressions, formations, cleaning pieces, anatomy, nutrition & injury prevention will be expanded upon. Educating teachers is a core focus of ours so we make it our goal to have your teachers leaving energized & inspired!
Join us for an unforgettable day of dance with our Faculty! Dance alongside friends from other studios, and get inspired by our fabulous faculty in a positive and fun learning environment.
The multi-discipline convention is mandatory for Accelerated dancers competing at the event.
Automatic registration for these dancers is done by the studio during competition registration.
