I find myself at a loss as to how to use this site. None of my photos will show up and I would rather upload my resume than retype all of the information in these little boxes. At least i know how to blog! 

DancePlug welcomes Dejan Tubic, as the newest teacher to join our faculty. Check out his first release "Better Than I Know Myself", an advanced hip-hop combination.

"This combination focuses 100 percent on musicality. The beginning is making sure you hit all the moves correctly with the dubstep music, and the second part is all with the words where you are portraying the character that Adam Lambert is singing. Find your inner monster. It's very full out. Go IN."

And take a look at Melissa Miles intermediate contemporary exercise "Rond De Jambe Direction Change 2"

"This exercise will challenge you to move quickly across the floor while changing directions.  You will work on focus changes, long lines, and control."

Hey, everyone loving the website so far. First I want to start by saying I am not officially a dancer, because I haven't taken any classes  yet. I'm really interested in contemporary dancing and I hope I am starting a class this summer. Although I am not a dancer I really love it and I hope I can dance to do contemporary. I can say that I have fallen irrevocably in love with dance.
