Hey!

Welcome to VIVA LA NIKA! I’m so excited that you’ve chosen to dance with me this

summer. We’ve gathered some of the best Jazz Funk and Hip-Hop teachers of our

time for Viva La Nika, and I can’t wait for you to learn from them.

Enclosed, please find a tentative schedule and details of the week’s events. The entire

faculty and I will be dedicated to high-energy and motivational classes, helping to

break down the ins and outs of working in this business. I strongly believe that

nurturing your mind and soul on a daily basis improves your dance career and who

you are as a dancer. In this week you’ll learn how to truly love yourself, be yourself,

and enjoy yourself in the present moment.

Included in this experience, you’ll be able to attend DancerPalooza’s huge expo hall

(Beat Street) and additional master classes (Crash Courses) in many styles of dance.

Admission to Beat Street is Free and admission to Crash Course classes are already

included with your Viva La Nika registration.

Thank you for making the trip to San Diego. See you soon!

Love,

Viva La Nika Director
