Thinking about something fun and different for your dance studio...look no further than Dance4Camera!  All of us at New England Dance Academy were thrilled with our experience!  Brian and his crew were amazing with all of the dancers.  They were professional, creative, and insightful.  Brian worked quickly and strategically to make the day not only fun-filled but also very productive.  We opened the experience up to all levels and we were not disappointed.  Everyone felt involved and included...not an easy task.  The workshop alone was worth every penny and the video at the end was an added bonus.  something we will enjoy for months to come!  We can't wait to do it again!  I highly recommend the experience!
