Without our dancers, studio owners, coaches, and parents we wouldn’t be here.

Each name represents a story and a relationship that has begun because of The Branch. Unifiting people across the country with the same goal of putting humans before the dancers. Below are just a few of the experiences that people have had with The Branch and we are thankful for everyone of them.

"This was our 3rd year attending The Branch. We love the positivity in the lessons and the kind and fun teachers. The kids always come away feeling better about themselves and more connected to each other. As a dance teacher, I think it's more important to take care of our mental health as well as help the kids grow into great humans. The Branch helps me with this mission and is a wonderful convention for mind and body. We look forward to it each year!"

"One in four dancers have experienced anxiety or depression, so it's refreshing to have a convention focused on mental health. The environment is designed to encourage, challenge and support with the focus on learning and connecting, not competing. The parent-dancer class was a bonus bonding experience with my daughter."

"My daughter loves to start her dance season with this event. It fuels her up with love, support, encouragement. She feels seen. Just an amazing atmosphere!!"

"THE BRANCH. What a beautiful way to begin a dance season. When you've got a dancer that is dealing with disappointment, inadequacies and questioning their love for dance, you need to be here. There is space for humility, freedom and growth, in a way that brings purpose not disappointment."
