Why I think SUDTT Summit is extraordinary

Mom Edition

“After years of watching my daughter attend various nationwide combines, conferences and conventions in her pursuit of a position on a college dance team, here are my observations.

The Missing Key

Although my daughter had very good experiences in other venues that were worthwhile, I felt like something critical was missing.
Her attendance at SUDTT Summit made what was missing clear: personalized attention and an environment that truly allowed her to be seen and show her authentic self. After all, as a parent… that’s all you want for your child: that they be given a “fair shake” and BE SEEN.

Finding Connection

When this happened, the magic occurred! She was making connections, not just the “5 minute rush” kind, but memorable interactions with college coaches and current college dancer athletes, as well as other peers who were attending. I saw this was something special and unique to only SharpenUp!

New Relationships

Her experience there lead to a friendship with a dancer from across town, that eventually grew to both of them being teammates on a D1 college team.
As a dance parent, the Summit recruiting event is one that I can’t recommend highly enough! You and more importantly, your dancer will find the entire weekend worth every minute.”
