Performance
We believe that performance and truly connecting to your audience is essential. Our teaching style encourages dancers to push their limits and we offer strategies to help build “mental toughness” to make your team more consistent competitors. We want you to have the judges and crowd on the edge of their seats when your team takes the floor, to never look away- not even once!

Testimonials
“Having INNOVATE conduct a workshop for our team was a terrific, inspiring way to kick off our season. The material Karl and staff shared was original, challenging and perfectly suited to our team’s wants and needs. They brought fresh ideas for everything from conditioning to skills and we appreciated the sharing of exclusive material, created specifically for us.”
"The North Dakota State Dance Team is incredibly grateful for the opportunity to dance with Karl & his Innovate staff. My team was a bit apprehensive to work with Karl; doubting their abilities. I could not have been more impressed with how they respected my team and invested in their dancing. As a coach, I was eager to learn from one of the best in the business. I, however, quickly found myself caught pleasantly off guard at how much my team took what Karl had to bring to heart and at what they gained mentally from working with him. The environment Karl created for two days was not only conducive for the team to learn new skill sets and exercises but was also motivating, thought provoking and I felt, enriched their cohesiveness as team. I found myself in a moment of pride watching my team dancing, growing and learning with Karl. We are already putting what Innovate taught to use and are excited for the upcoming season. We will, undoubtedly, be working with Innovate Dance again!"
