Fall Registration Launched

Therefore, we'd like to stress the importance of registering in advance to secure your place in your desired classes. Classes will fill. All registration can be done online at our website at www.DanceAtTheVibe.com and please feel free to email us with any questions. We will return email in the summer weeks to come quicker than phone messages.

The Vibe At Monsters Of Hip Hop Portland / Doug gets scholarship!

For the (okay we've been too many times to count), The Vibe dancers attended the Monsters of Hip Hop workshop in Portland. We took 28 dancers ranging in age from 10 to adult to experience a weekend of non-stop classes with today's leading choreographers including Marty Kudelka (Justin Timberlake), Dave Scott (You Got Served, Stomp the Yard) and Matt Cady (Fanny Pack). On the second day the convention holds an audition giving dancers a chance to earn scholarships to another Monsters convention or LA and NY dance studios. Our own Doug P. (age 11) earned the first scholarship a Vibe dancer has received at a Monsters workshop. He will be attending a week of classes at the Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood this summer. For those of you that don't know the Millennium is where our own Gaby F. auditioned for her first video (featuring Sabrina from the Cheetah Girls) at the age of 12, and made it. Congratulations Dougy Fresh! (oh, side note, Doug also got into the semi-finals of the freestyle battle that Saturday night)
