There are truly not enough words to express how grateful we are to have Michael “Mikey” Cusumano as part of The Dance Collective family

To have someone of his caliber… an ABT legend with decades of professional experience, travel all the way from NYC month after month to pour into our students is something we never take for granted.

But beyond the titles and accomplishments, what makes Mikey so special is who he is as a person. He believes in healthy training environments. He believes in kindness, discipline, artistry, and building dancers up rather than tearing them down.

Our dancers are learning not only incredible ballet training from him, but also what it means to be a good human in this industry.

We are SO excited and thankful that Mikey will continue on faculty with us next year. Having him as part of our team is something incredibly rare, and we know just how lucky we are.

Thank you, Mikey, for believing in our students, our vision, and our studio family. We love you dearly!

Teacher Appreciation Post 💙

We are beyond lucky to have someone like Michael Cusumano travel all the way from NYC to work with our dancers here at The Dance Collective.

Michael brings not only incredible talent, knowledge, and professionalism into the studio, but also kindness, patience, and genuine care for every student he teaches. Having the opportunity to train with someone of his caliber is something truly special, and our dancers grow every single time he walks into the room.

From ABT repertoire to the smallest technical corrections, he pushes our students to work harder, dance smarter, and believe in themselves. The inspiration and mentorship he provides goes far beyond dance steps.

Thank you, Michael, for continuing to pour your time, energy, and artistry into our dancers. We appreciate you more than words can say, and our studio is better because of you!

Next up for our Senior Spotlight is Tula Klock!

Tula will be attending Falmouth University as a Musical Theater major. Tula is an incredible human and we truly wish we could have had her at TDC even longer! Tula is such a bright light in the studio, always supporting and uplifting everyone around her with her kind energy and positive spirit. We are so grateful she became part of our TDC family, and we cannot wait to see all she accomplishes next!

When asked about her favorite TDC memory, Tula shared: “My favorite memory at TDC was my first recital. I was nervous about the performance since I had just started dancing again, but once I entered the green room, my worries faded. The relaxed and welcoming energy was so amazing to step into, and helped soothe my nerves. I had an amazing time performing, and I talked with people I hadn’t known before!”
