We attended Caravan in Myrtle Beach, SC. Our students and parents were satisfied and continue to speak about your event. The parents were pleased with such a well organized event.

The students were excited and motivated by such a talented faculty. Jerry Rose was the most creative teacher. He empathizes the definition of Caravan; a high quality ambassador of dance. Caravan would not be “Caravan” without such a gentleman.

The knowledge shared from Dance Caravan always provides an opportunity to further one’s education. Children need a chance to develop life skills such as determination and dedication and the Caravan Organization helps to develop this.

Once again thank you for developing such an organization to share the art of dance with us all.

We have just returned from your national convention in Myrtle Beach and it was a wonderful
experience for all of our students at every age group and level. Your classes are challenging, fun and full of technique advise as well as the latest styles and music from both east and west coast. The personal interest of each instructor in the education of dancers of all levels and abilities is amazing. Our pre-professional students are challenged and inspired in your advanced classes and our beginners and intermediates are also filled with desire to improve each year.

Thank You.
Your competitions are also very well run and always have professional judges who give great feedback on what to take back to work on. This year we were so pleased to be the Senior Dance Off Winners. After years of making the finals in national competitions we were so pleased to have the girls hard work and thoughtful choreographers work acknowledged.

2006 PDTA National Finals

We love PDTA! The Professional Dance Teachers Association quality educational program provides classes in a variety of dance disciplines that inspire our students at every level of training. The faculty is personable and caring. Best of all, they reinforce the lessons we teach in our own studios. Everyone is a winner at the Stars of Tomorrow competitions. Our parents love PDTA as much as our students. What a great experience!

I attended your National Comp/Conv In NYC this July and wanted to thank you for everything. I was honored to receive a scholarship to Steps on Broadway through your amazing workshop classes. As High Score JR. Grand Champion in the Competition and Dance Off, I received cash prizes for which I am grateful. Thank you for an amazing and educational experience and I hope to see you at the Regionals this coming season.

On Behalf of Abby Lee Miller and students of Reign Productions we want to say thanks for hosting an outstanding National Convention at the Crowne Plaza in NYC. The classes and competition were fun and exciting. The Dance Off was the highlight of the weekend and we were all thrilled when several of our numbers were named as winners!

Dear Dance Caravan Crew,

Just a short note to say “Thanks” for a great summer Dance Workshop and Competition. We attended Dance Caravan in NYC with 34 teenagers, the M*A*D dancers. It was an experience of a lifetime. The teachers at the workshop were Fantastic!

Our girls have taught the whole studio the Hip-Hop routines they learned in NYC. Our girls fund-raised for 2 years for this trip and it was well worth it. They have already started raising money for NYC 2007.

Our competition experience was great and we are looking forward to attending the competition and workshop in Rhode Island in March. We have attended Dance Caravan many times over the years and itis still #1 with us. Keep up the good work….

Just wanted to drop a note and let you know that your Myrtle Beach workshop was fantastic. I also wanted to let you know that the faculty show was the best it has ever been. You all out did yourselves this time. A special thank you to all the staff and teachers that devote their summer for the dancers. Of all the workshops we have attended, Caravan never lets us down.~ Kathy Sutphin

On behalf of Abby Lee Miller, the Maryen Lorraine Dance Studio, and all the students who attended the National Convention in Orlando, FL, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your talented staff for a great week of classes and competition.

It was a wonderful learning experience for all our students, and they took with them memories that will last a lifetime!Kudos to all for a job well done!

Hello, I recently attended the Stars of Tomorrow National Competition in Atlantic City and would like to compliment you on how efficient and professional the event was. The staff was extremely knowledgeable, the judging was fair in all aspects and your administrative staff was more than helpful in many ways. It was a pleasurable experience for my studio and we look forward to attending in the future.

I just wanted to tell you that my kids came away loving Dance Caravan as much as I do. They learned so much and are so pumped to start dancing this year. I love seeing that look in their eyes...the look of loving what they do.

Just wanted to drop a few lines to let you know that I really enjoyed the workshop in Myrtle Beach SC. I was a DCK in 1993 and have not attended a workshop with ya'll since 1995. The instructors, the DCK's the routines that were taught all were GREAT!!!! I can’t wait to see ya'll again in Dec. in Charleston SC. Thanks for a great time and also for the great memories as a DCK! Keep up the good work. Always Dance,

I just returned from the Las Vegas Convention and I had an absolutely amazing time! The entire faculty was tremendous and the ones I missed my daughter took and my husband observed. We all had a terrific time. It was my first convention in 20 years and I just recently started dancing again. I can’t thank you enough for the experience. I will be doing 2 cities next year!

Dear Mr. Hoctor and Caravan Staff,
Thank-you for a wonderful dance experience. We attended Dance Caravan in San Antonio and as usual had the opportunity to work with sincere and dedicated professionals. It was great seeing old friends and refreshing learning from new faculty members. It was a pleasire to attend a well-organized and personable convention. The faculty show was amazing. We were captivated and thoroughly entertained by such a stellar performance.We deeply appreciated the care and concern shown to Jasmine Olivier, our Caravan Kid. Her experience was very rewarding as well as fullfilling and challenging. Jasmine is the sixth Caravan Kid from our studio and we are always impressed with unique and detailed learning acquired. The opportunities provided to young dancers from your organization can never be equaled. In closing, we would again like to thank you for bringing Dance Caravan so close to our area and giving us the opportunity to work with your organization.~ Desiree Pourciau

Just a note to let you know that Caravan in Pigeon Forge, TN was great! Jerry and Loree did a wonderful job making sure everything ran smoothly. The teachers were super with the students.

Also, we love that P.D.T.A comes to Kingsport, TN, I as a parent / Dance Teacher appreciate all that you and your staff do for us as educators in the dance world.

Well Good Morning! Both of the Marinelli girls had an awesome time at the Finals in Atlantic City. The entire staff was dynamite!!!

I would like to start by just saying Thank you. I recently accompanied my daughter, Kayla to San Antonio toparticipate in your 3 day convention, and it was amazing! Your staff was above and beyond anything we could have hoped. Loree, Jeff, Anthony, Barry and The Boyz were so great with the girls! I never dreamed that my daughter would learn so much in such a short time. At age 7 sometimes it can be quite a challenge to hold her attention, even with something she loves as much as dance. But the personal attention she was given by each of the instructors not only held her attention, but left her wanting more. The only time she ever fussed. She didn't want to leave and asked if there was anyway we could follow you to the next city. She said, "I like it here Mom, they make me feel really special!"

Hi to All at Hoctors,
I am writing in regards to your faculty at the Las Vegas convention. As a studio owner who brings 40 plus students I just wanted to let you know my students really enjoy taking classes…We greatly appreciate what these teachers have to offer and the way it is presented. I have been attending Dance Caravan since I was a child and have t-shirts saying I was there clear back to 1972. I have always enjoyed attending and

coming home with a rejuvenated enthusiasm for dance. Thank you for all you do to help me further educate my students.

I wanted to let you know how much fun my students and parents had in San Antonio this summer!!

They came home so excited and loved all the work. One parent said "We will always go to summer conventions if it is Dance Caravan". I appreciate your staff for making the children enthused and ready to come back.

Please let me know if you add any new towns so we can make plans to come see you!!Thank you,

RE: Kingsport, TN Workshop & Competition:

I want to start out by telling you that this was the best competition that we have attended this year.The girls really enjoyed themselves and I believe learned a lot during the classes. The teachers were the best. The location was great!…easy to find, surrounded by other things to do, and held at a very nice facility. We look forward to attending next year.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend in Atlantic City!!! I can’t begin to imagine how difficult it is to organize and pull off such an event with class and style the way in which you did…congratulations on a wonderful job.
-T.D.D.

What a coup! Another great workshop and competition! This was the second time we attended in Syracuse and my assistants and I felt it was even better than the first. The competiton was so organized and the faculty and staff were super friendly and answered questions we posed without any hesitation. We look forward to being with you in Syracuse and at the Nationals!
