This dance convention and competition was created to make dancers feel like they are part of a family. The mission of Dance Makers is to promote creativity, self-awareness, individuality, discipline, inspiration and love. Some of the faculty are from the show So You Think You Can Dance, including Kathryn McCormick and Robert Roldan. Along with the competition, dance classes are also offered.
