Track #2
There is an auditor track for high-schoolers to attend the entire workshop. We are encouraging our entire studios to attend as auditors, and please make sure your students are aware of this fantastic opportunity to learn & grow themselves by watching their peers perform in masterclass settings!

Any interested adult who wishes to do so can register and attend this amazing continuing-ed event in our own backyard!
