AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® National Training Curriculum Introduction
A breakthrough eight level program that combines high quality artistic training with the basics of dancer health and child development. ABT’s National Training Curriculum is a program for the development and training of young students that embraces sound ballet principles and incorporates elements of the French, Italian and Russian schools of training. It was designed and written by Franco De Vita and Raymond Lukens in collaboration with ABT’s Artistic Advisors and the Medical Advisory Board. ABT’s National Training Curriculum aims to assist beginning through advanced teachers in training dance students to use their bodies correctly, focusing on kinetics and coordination, as well as anatomy and proper body alignment. Artistically, the National Training Curriculum strives to provide dance students with a rich knowledge of classical ballet technique and the ability to adapt to all styles and techniques of dance.

Bridging The Gap
Here's a class where both Hip Hop & technical dancers can identify the movement from their styles as well as steps from other techniques. When learning Hip hop choreography, technical dancers usually have the tendencies to dance softer than it's required for the particular style. However Hip hop dancers tend to be challenged by more fluid movement. With acquiring knowledge from Hip hop to other technical styles, it is easier for today's dancer to BRIDGE the styles together. It's what we call the Best of Both World's.

Revolution Tap
Revolution Tap is a method of teaching designed by Mike Schulster. Inspired by his show "Revolution," and useful for any style of tap dance, the RT method offers its own unique syllabus for beginner through advanced students. Its philosophy integrates traditional teaching methods, giving instructors new ideas for class and choreography along with tools for making old steps new again.

Partnering 101
A new twist on Angela D’Valda Sirico and Steve Sirico's Syllabus for partnering and you can only get it at the DTW Conference and Expo. Covering work for beginner through advanced students of varying ages. Discover how to spot a lift, how to develop strength for both the girl and boy. Non weight bearing to weight bearing lifts.

Hip Hop Transcendance
Hip hop lives through expression. With that being said, a dancer has to transcend the big strong movements that represent the Hip hop style. Antony Carr's class takes you through full movement at a high pace energy where the dancer learns to effortlessly move through steps, and transitions while maintaining the hard Hip Hop performance aspect. The best part is that it's one big HIP HOP PARTY.

Stage Awareness
The Stage is your playground. Whether your on tour, in competition, or at a convention, the environment around the dancer is very Important. Dancers will learn to utilize the space their given to its fullest in performance. The challenge is moving as one with a group of dancers, while executing the choreography itself. Think of watching everything in a Circus occurring. Its a mind blowing experience. That's how you should feel on the Stage.
