Summit Dean has been a competitive dancer for most of his life - competing in the industry’s most rigorous events. He’s since turned professional dancing for both Royal Caribbean and Holland America cruise lines and has spent time working in both New York and LA. What carried him away from the work he was doing out at sea and in those big cities was creating, choreographing and teaching. He loves molding a dancer and seeing his ideas come to life on and through their bodies. Full of passion and fire, you will leave class with Summit feeling fulfilled and immensely challenged.
