DanceMakers’ mission is to offer the very best in dance education, provide an atmosphere that fosters creativity and use dance as a medium for self exploration and love. The Collective is an elite group of dancers chosen by the DanceMakers faculty as outstanding representatives of “who we are”. As a Collective member Lucas will attend eight regional conventions where he will assist, demonstrate, perform, work competition and study/mentor with the faculty that has inspired so much of his dance journey. He will be challenged, he will learn, he will be inspired, he will make mistakes and he will grow. Daytona Beach is his first city and he has already learned he needs to properly fuel his body to survive the demanding weekend schedule and that assisting ballet in the junior room can be challenging but also a lot of fun.
