"'Our first experience at the Dance Summit in 2018 totally exceeded our hopes and expectations! Our program has been competing for many years and our older dancers are so passionate about Dance Worlds. Dance Summit has created that same level of excitement and pure commitment for our younger, yet equally intense dancers. It was an honor and an absolute blast to share the stage with such amazing programs. The memories our dancers and their families made are priceless and we cannot wait for the 2020 Dance Summit!'" Lee Eaves MitchellThe Vision Dance Center
"'There is no event like The Dance Summit, where the best talent in the industry come together to challenge and inspire each other. My dancers always look forward to an unforgettable bonding experience and as far as the memories made.'" Lauren NewellDance Dynamics
"'Dance Summit is the competition that each and every one of our dancers counts down the days to every year. The Dance Summit makes every dancer from every program feels like they are a part of something truly epic, and it’s because they are! It’s an amazing, smoothly run competition, where our dancers learn and grow with other dancers from around the country.'" Kayla PittnerDollhouse Dance Factory
