This incredible event brought together over 1,000 competition teachers and studio owners from around the world to share knowledge and prepare for the upcoming season. 🌍💃

We’re honored to be part of the DTW family, and this year, BDP Board Members Blake Stanley and Dr. Linda Bluestein took the stage as presenters!
🔹 Blake shared insights on “Grounding” and how floor work can build strength and power in performance.

Our booth drew amazing interest, with many attendees eager to learn more—and some even exploring starting chapters in their own cities! 🙌
