Friday Five — Lovely Links

 

Can you believe summer has gone by so quickly?! While we've had a blast with summer dance camps, we're excited to get back into a regular schedule. Here are few links that we've found inspiring or helpful during this transitional time.

What have been the highlights of your summer? And how are you gearing up for the 2015-2016 dance year? If you haven't already registered for the Leap 'N Learn Dance Teacher Training Workshop, now's the time to do so (we're still accepting new member studios, so if you haven't licensed yet, you can apply here first). It's just around the corner and is a great way to prepare for a successful year.
