I love this group so much and the DanceLife Teacher Conference was the best ever. I am grateful for all the teachers, the IDEA ladies and of course, the one and only Rhee Gold. I not only want to be better because of all of you; I KNOW I can be better because of you! I am living my dream.

I’m having a difficult time articulating what DLTC and my IDEA tribe really mean to me. To attend this years conference was extra special because I finally got to hug those that have guided me, consoled me and became my true friends these last 2 years. I am back and inspired and ready to go for season 23! So many plans! ❤️

Studio Owner: Soul Dancer Conference

This was a great event! All my dancers felt comfortable enough to try new styles of dance and my own daughter got in the car, said she had so much fun and fell asleep. No talking about awards, no why, how, next time, just pure FUN! Thank you for that! 💖💙
