Select Navarre Dance Students Receive Instruction From Dance’s Best and Brightest Stars
For Immediate Release – Celebrity choreographers including Brian Friedman, Cris Judd, and Tyce Diorio were on hand to lead local Navarre dance students through an intense two days of dance training at the 2012 PULSE On Tour workshop in Atlanta, GA. The workshop, emceed by Carmit Bachar (of Pussy Cat Dolls fame) featured multiple sessions catered to individual skill and age levels.
The PULSE On Tour workshop is a travelling show designed to empower young people through dance while teaching the skills needed to hone their performances to a professional level.
“We are proud to provide this incredible opportunity to train in a non-competitive environment which inspires all who attend,” say PULSE promoters.
A Time to Dance studio is committed to bringing the very best training available to its dancers. Last fall, three students from the Navarre dance studio were singled out for awards at a similar PULSE workshop. This time, both members of the Navarre dance studio’s Company and Performance teams attended classes and learned from industry insiders including:
- Brian Friedman (creative director for X Factor USA and choreographer for Britney Spears, and Beyoncé)
- Cris Judd (back-up dancer for Michael Jackson and Jennifer Lopez)
- Tyce Dioro (dancer/actor worked with Janet Jackson, NSYNC, and Jennifer Lopez)
- Dave Scott (Choreographer and dancer who works in movies, television, and more)
- Desmond Richardson (Tony Award nominated choreographer)
- Robert Hoffman (American Choreography Award winner appeared in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, Step Up 2, and more)
The students were supervised by A Time to Dance’s Creative Director Brieane Schell who took the opportunity to network. She convinced Cris Judd (pictured above with several Navarre dance students) to come by the Navarre studio in June to host several workshops and fine tune choreography for the Competition Team. Schell also potentially lined up additional workshops this summer with Travis Wall (Emmy nominated creative director for the Fox Network’s So You Think You Can Dance).
