We’re heading back to New York City for Dance Teacher Summit, and we couldn’t be more excited! In this episode of the Make Dance Fun Podcast, we’re sharing the top 5 things we’re looking forward to as we prepare for this incredible event. Whether you’re attending DTS this year or just dreaming of a trip to NYC, this episode will inspire you with ideas and tips for making the most of your experience.

Here’s what we’re talking about:

1. Attending with our Executive Leadership Team
It’s been so long since we’ve been able to attend DTS together as a full team, and we know it will be energizing and inspiring.

2. Networking and Brainstorming
One of the best parts of DTS is connecting with other like-minded studio owners and educators. We can’t wait to brainstorm ideas and bring renewed energy and inspiration back to our team and students.

3. Confetti on the Dance Floor at DTS
NYC is where we first launched Confetti on the Dance Floor in 2016, so being back at this event is extra special. We’ll be debuting new WOW Cards, offering show specials, and hosting two seminars:

  • Summer Down to a Science: Formulas for Fun & Success
  • Confetti Worthy Content: Social Media & Branding

4. Hitting the Garment District
We only have one afternoon to explore, but we’ll make it count! We’ll visit our favorite fabric and trim stores, including MOOD, Hai Trim, and Spandex House, with Beth joining us for the first time.

5. Being Inspired by NYC
Broadway shows, unique restaurants, retail spaces, museums—the city itself is a creative reset. We’re excited to soak up all the inspiration NYC has to offer and bring it back home for the upcoming season.

We’re also sharing tips for making the most of Dance Teacher Summit, from how to stay organized, to making time for daily debriefs, to how to take what you’ve learned and put it into action when you return home.

If you’ll be at DTS, we’d love to see you! Stop by our booth, attend one of our seminars, or say hello in the hall. If you’re listening from home, we hope this episode gives you a peek into the magic of DTS and a little NYC inspiration for your next visit.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
