Testimonials
“Karl Mundt and his INNOVATE staff are truly a joy to watch teach! Their charisma and passion is so contagious, you could tell it impacted our dancers by looking at their smiling faces and the heightened intensity of attacking their routines – from the youngest petites all the way up to the graduating seniors. The material they brought to us was unique and challenging, yet attainable for the dancers so they felt a sense of pride and accomplishment when the intensive was over! We cannot wait to see what they come up with next!”
“I LOVED having Karl and the INNOVATE staff come in and work with my team. "Innovate" definitely describes the experience. From innovative stretches and conditioning exercises specifically designed for dancers, I felt that I walked away with a tremendous amount of tools to help better prepare my team. The combinations and skills were extremely impressive, but the most rewarding part was how Innovate inspired the dancers to push beyond what they think is possible. My team left the clinic feeling challenged, driven and as though they could accomplish anything. With Innovate, the movement is unbelievable; however, it is the mental "innovation" and teaching that sets Karl and his staff apart from the competition.”
"For our team, INNOVATE Dance Workshops is the highlight of our summer! The routines and combinations are extremely challenging and push my dancers to step out of their comfort zones. At the same time, the staff is incredibly inspiring and motivating."
"Karl’s inventive choreography and enthusiasm pushed my team to the next level. The imaginative skills that he taught the girls were extremely unique, yet practical and we will definitely be able to put them into our own routines. Not only does he teach exciting choreography, but he helps the girls with their technique and showmanship by showing us useful combinations that can be done every practice."
