Well.........here we are at the final day of DanceTeacherWeb Live Conference & Expo and we are overwhelmed at the response we have received the past few days! While every year brings new magic and inspiration, this year the energy was particularly contagious and seeing you all in your classes and chatting at the Expo was an amazing sight to see you all dive in, no holds barred; ready to learn and share your thoughts and vantage points as well. As we always say, we learn as much from you as you hopefully do from us! You are our inspiration to make each and every year's event better and better!

Our final day opened with our Expo breakfast sponsored by Motion and kicked off with morning movement classes such as "Boys in Ballet" with Christopher Stuart, "Afro Jazz Leaps and Turns" with Simone DePaolo, "Partnering and Choreography" with D'Valda & Sirico, "Musicality of Tap" with Aaron Turner, not to mention business classes including "Fundraising & Events" with Dawn Macchiarelli, "Social Media Strategies" with Kim Hale and "Marketing and Tracking" with Steve Sirico to name  few.

Our Expo Finale also brought cash and prizes from our amazing exhibitors and attendees were treated to a Closing Master-class with none other than Giulio Scatola. You guys rocked it! :)))

As we bid you farewell from this year's live event, we hope you take that energy, passion and rejuvenation with you and maintain it the whole year through. This event was for YOU, YOUR creative soul and YOUR artistic spirit. Now, remember, to take a little time for yourself throughout the year and stay recharged! We think you are all fantastic and look forward to connecting during the 2014-2015 season! We can't thank you enough for joining us and we look forward to seeing you all next year at the DTW Live Conference & Expo in 2015! Vegas Baby!

Safe travels home to you all....

Thank you for sharing your time, talent and dedication with us!

May it be your best year yet!

With Love,

-The DTW Family
