My daughter received a scholarship for Talent on Parade\'s Pre-Pro summer dance intensive. We are from a very small town in Indiana and it was the most amazing experience! She learned amazing skills that she could not have learned at home. Not only did they teach amazing dance, but the life skills she learned was super! Talent on Parade is ALL about the kids and preparing them for life as a dancer. Don is wonderful with the kids and really knows what each one needs to make them a little better. I would personally like to thank Kim and Eric for the awesome company they run! Our motto is T.O.P. is the place to Be!

My child was pushed to excel at Pre Pro. The teachers were excellent and gave the dancers a lot of individual corrections and encouragement. I appreciated the parent classes each day. It\'s important to develop a long term perspective as a parent of an aspiring athlete. They offered guidance on how to support and encourage my dancer while keeping our family time in check.
This was the first time my daughter has attended anything like this, we both enjoyed it and would attend again.
This was an amazing experience for my child.
My daughter won a fellowship for Pre-Pro and we went to Branson, MI. Her experience was extremely positive, as she was able to dance and take courses with excellent choreographers, receive one on one feedback, and even participate in a commercial casting. Classes for parents were very informative, and the atmosphere was positive in general. We plan to return next summer! Thank you Talent on Parade and Pre-Pro, for giving this unique experience to our children.
We were First Timers attending the Pre-Pro Event! What an amazing Program and Wonderful Opportunity! The Instructors were Fantastic! The commercials were so much fun! Mr. Don goes out of his way to help each and every dancer feel special! Amazing Experience! We will certainly be attending next year! Thank you Talent on Parade!
Our 3rd year to attend (and sadly our last as my dancer has aged out) and it gets better each year! The faculty and staff are superb! Each cares so much and it really shows! If you have the chance to attend Pre-Pro don\'t miss it! It is a wonderful opportunity for both parent and dancers!
This is one of the most unique opportunities for young dancers who are obsessed with everything dance! The staff is knowledgeable, loves kids, and have a great ability to connect with each and every dancer and parent. It\'s not just about a competition to them, they truly care and want young dancers to grow into the best versions of themselves. The amount of instruction you receive, both parent and child, is more than you can imagine. If you get the chance to go to PrePro or GoPro, DO NOT let this opportunity pass you by. You meet valuable teachers, parents and other kids, who all share the common passion of developing young dancers to be not only good dancers, but how to conduct themselves in the business and their lives. I couldn\'t recommend this experience any HIGHER!!!
I can\'t say enough about this opportunity and this organization! Talent on Parade consistently puts on events that are all about helping our kids get to the next level. Every staff person I have ever worked with has this goal in mind when dealing with the dancers. My daughter won a scholarship to attend last year and we didn\'t go - BIG mistake! when she got the chance again this year, I jumped on it! She says it is one of the highlights of her dance \'career\' so far and we both learned alot about what it takes to dance professionally. It motivated her enough that she now has her sights set on being selected to the \"GoPro\" workshop for the older kids! We love the staff, the location is fun, the cost is reasonable, and the rewards immeasurable! If you have a dancer that eats, sleeps, and breathes dance then this workshop is for you!
LOVE LOVE LOVE. If you are invited you should go. It\'s very affordable, fun and will change your dancer for the better.
My daughter had an amazing experience last year and we are super excited to go back again this summer! Great sessions for moms and lots of fun for dancers! TOP staff & choreographers are very open, honest, & friendly! Love, love, love Pre-pro!
Great for the younger dancers!! My parent and dancer that went had nothing but great things to say!!
Young dancers finally have an intensive just their level. Great things happening at this event.
"Better than Joffrey" according to my dancer. So much packed into our experience: dancing, audition tips, makeup, and even how to act for commercials. Plus parent classes were VERY helpful. My daughter & I agreed this was a great trip! Would love come back again and stay longer!
An amazing 3 days, wish it had been longer. A perfect workshop for young dancers planning on making dance their career. Classes with some of the top instructors in the country for the dancers. For the parents, a wealth of information on the real world of professional dance. Worth every penny. Will return again if given the opportunity. TOP owners and staff treat everyone like family and sincerely care about helping our dancers excel.
This was an amazing experience for my daughter. Teachers with insane resumes working with children that may want to have a career in the dance world. Not only did my daughter enjoy it but I recieved a alot of information from the staff. Things parents want to know. They provided meals for us and our children and the cost was worth every penny. If given the opportunity we would definitely go back.
My daughter attended this event and it was the highlight of her summer. The teachers were all amazing and all staff gave us such personal attention. I felt they treated us like family. Classes were excellent for parents and students and my daughter left saying that she felt changed from the experience. She only wished it had lasted longer!
