Congratulations to Mia Bauer, Hunter Brown, Jordan Brown, Kennedy Brown, Gigi Lo, Aislinn Malayter, Eric Nowicki, Rachel Reilly, Sofia Sommer, and Krista Tellez for making it through to the next and final round!!! We are so proud of our dancers and Staff! What a thrill it was for the dancers to perform for the Producer of the show. Thank you to Kat Daunora, Tara Drew, Shannon Williams, and Steve Southall for getting these dancers prepared and giving them this amazing choreography. Once again, we are recognized for our strong ballet training and emphasis on technique!

Steve Southall: The best Hip Hop teacher in NorthWest Indiana! Steve brings his vast knowledge of the hip hop world as well as his unique style. The change in our students after only having Steve for one year has been night and day!!
Shannon Williams: A well known dancer and choreographer in this area!! Shannon brings her knowledge of the competition world as well as her resume of producing National Champions! We are blessed to have had her on board for nearly a year now. Our dancers have stepped it up in Jazz and can now turn and leap with the top studios in the nation! She heads up or Competitive Dance Company!! Shannon is one of the only teachers in this area that takes classes on a weekly basis in Chicago so that she can hone her skills and bring back the newest dance moves that are going on in the country!
Suzi Langlois: Suzi has been with us for almost 1 year and the increase in enrollment of our Kinder Dancers has almost tripled!! Suzi not only has a way with the little ones but she is instilling the knowledge of correct technique all the way down to our 18 month old dancers. ( We affectionately call her the Toddler Whisperer) Suzi in unique in the fact that she also has a teaching degree in elementary Education.
Katrina Rusin: Katrina is one of our new teachers and is heading up our Novice Dance Team. Katrina has years of experience and even owned a studio of her own before moving to Chesterton. Her knowledge of dance is vast! She has a huge following and our enrollment increases everyday as more and more people discover that she is here at Eclipse!
Rachel Crum: Rachel is the newest member of our team and we are thrilled to have her. I was fortunate enough to have her walk through my door literally one week ago! Look for more classes to be added to sustain the growth that her style of dancing will bring!
Eclipse is the ONLY studio that sends all of their teachers to conventions and workshops to keep up with this everchanging industry. Stop in and see what all the talk is about! Things are moving and shaking at Eclipse!
