About Us

Having Karl work with the team was instrumental to our success on the competition floor! His techniques helped them to handle those high pressure moments and find the confidence to perform to the best of their ability.
Karl is known for bringing out the best in the dancers he works with, and this focus on mindfulness took things to the next level. He not only helped the team focus on performance, strength and consistency, but brought to the surface a mental toughness that competitors in any sport aim to achieve!

It was a pleasure & and honor to work with Karl Mundt for a number of years. He is a master at what he does with choreography but I was equally impressed with the thoughtful & inspiring way he went about preparing my team for competition. Karl knows the right ways to motivate, calm, encourage & empower dancers. Working with him was without a doubt a game changer for my team.

A chance meeting at College Nationals brought us together with Karl Mundt. Our dance team has been strong but as the years go by the pressure has gotten harder. Karl worked with our team the week before Nationals and it was amazing the difference we had walking into the Field House for their finals performance. They were more confident and learned how to change their nervousness into excitement. All weekend at Nationals the team would comment, “what would Karl say?”

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.”

I think Karl and Rachel’s choreography speaks for itself. It is unique and relevant- they have the best understanding of how to use music and how to utilize our team’s strengths by making sure the movement compliments their bodies and the team as a whole. What I appreciate most about working with them is their investment- they truly care about us and put their heart and soul into each routine. I know we will not see “our” choreography on another team because they have the talent and passion toward making each piece unique. The growth of our program over the past five years is in large-part due to their choreography and passion toward preparing our team for competition. We will work with them as long as possible!

Karl is one of the most talented instructors and choreographers I have ever worked with. He brings true passion to each and every moment of the experience he offers; from working in the classroom to sending the dancers onto the performance floor. He is committed to his work in every way. In this world of competitive dance markets, he has proven his success time after time with dancers of all ages and levels. He is inspiring to his students because of his vast knowledge of dance, his innovative choreography and his extremely talented way of pulling emotion out of today’s dancers.

Karl’s incredibly original choreography was the jump start our program needed to get us back on track towards winning another national title. He and Rachel’s creativity, energy, supportive teaching style and commitment to our routines motivated our dancers and program to an entirely different level.

INNOVATE’s expertise really helped my team with technique, style and overall self-confidence. Their workshops energized our team and pushed them to a whole new level. We are better for having worked with Innovative dance.

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.

Karl has made a remarkable impact on my team. Through his intensity, attention to detail and passion in his delivery, he has inspired dancers to grow well beyond their perceived potential. He demands the best and delivers nothing but the best!
