Description: I provide high-end, advanced dance education to fitness professionals currently in the US and returning to international markets. I am formally degreed in health ed, have years of dance training, and was a NIKE global fitness athlete in the 90s (traveling to over 25 countries in additiona to the US market). I have serviced (and with a small handful of others control) approximately 20% of the group exercise market professionals for over 20 years. I have written and brought to life some of the the first-ever dance-based formats in fitness in the world. Included in these have been Latin, jazz and hip-hop, and currently ballet-based DANCE (this is not pilates nor barre training!). The ballet program is something unique because it actually teaches non-dancers to dance high-end ballet in little time while losing weight and gaining lower body muscle tone at mock speed! I was told by many during the design mode that I would never be able to do this because of the complexity involved and the numerous failures relative to footwear, choreogrphy design and movement pedagogy. I have tested it in Denver (in top 5 US fintess markets) as well as Detroit (in top choreography/performing arts markets) and the feedback is off-the-charts. My future goals including jump-starting a Cardio Ballet national branded certification, along with video productions for professional resources as well as commercial markets. All of my work on the balllet program is legally protected at the time, and when carried through, will drmamatically lift industry standards for dance-training to a level congruent with more technical areas of expertise. I have a CV off-the-charts on a global level (including video, TV and still photography work with major producers such as Warner Bros), and experience to drive the advertisisng/marketing for a high-return relative to a low investment on this mutli-tiered project. Included are returning to major conferences, contacts with major video producers/retailers, and major (West coast) club chains (one of which is already considering leasing this program already for thier national rosters.
