By Popular Demand...
Phoenician Resort Extends Attendee Rate

DanceLife attendees may increase their stay three days prior to or after the conference dates and still received the discounted room rate of $169, plus tax.  Book your rooms early, we do expect the hotel to sell out.  Call the DanceLife office at 888-i-dance-9 (508-285-6650) to make reservations.  Room rate stays the same for single, double, triple and quadruple occupancy.
Group Registration
As with vendor participation, the teacher registration for the conference is up by more than 50% from the same time last year.

Attending with their faculty and office staff, numerous schools are taking advantage of the conference group rate (bring five attendees and only pay registration fees for four).  With three rooms of curriculum ranging from business sessions to classes, along with panel discussions, rap sessions, brainstorming sessions and many special events, the conference offers a wealth of knowledge for everyone involved in the success of the dance school.

By popular demand, the conference will offer an organization group rate for dance teacher organizations whose members would like to attend as a group.  There must be a minimum of 10 attendees; contact Jill Egan at 508-285-6650 or e-mail her at Jill@Rheegold.com.

The Business Track

The things we learned not only refueled us for another year of running our studio, but [they] are now putting money into our pockets.
— Josh Porter, Ovations Studio, Sapulpa, OK

Improve your enrollment, generate more income, market your business like a pro, and become a smarter businessperson.

Whether you are looking for innovative promotion concepts, ways to improve student retention, employee policies that work, a more organized office and staff, or simply analyzing what classes and programs actually do make a profit, we have a session for you.

The business track is open to school owners, studio managers, significant others and anyone associated with the business end of the school.

The Class Track

The choreography and technique classes were riveting!
— Nancy Lihan, Showbiz Kidz Dance Center, Phillipsburg, NJ

Real teachers classes, designed to offer attendees curriculum and inspiration for years to come. The class curriculum includes recreational to advanced material, exploring technique, choreography, philosophy and innovative new learning concepts.

Classes include preschool/creative movement, ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, modern, across-the-floor work, routines, choreography, improving feet, pirouettes, balance and so much more. Added this year will be classroom brainstorming sessions, where attendees can share their classroom concerns or issues with other attendees who live the life.

Rhee Gold’s Project Motivate Sessions

A Message From Rhee Gold

For me this event is about bringing hundreds of teachers together to share their passion for dance education. We all will journey back to the place that first
inspired us to be a dance person in the first place.

I've discovered that something really special happens when dance teachers come together in a noncompetitive environment. They share their experiences; learn from each other and most important they realize how much they all have in common. That goes for those from small or big schools, or those who have been teaching one year or five decades!

Yes there are classes, business sessions and other groundbreaking discussions that the DanceLife Teacher Conference has become known for, but the reality is that the conference will rejuvenate and inspire you to be the best teacher and business person you can be. Guaranteed!

See you in Scottsdale--Rhee
