The Collaborative Mission

Established in 2023

Our purpose is to provide a space where dancers can find supplemental training that is high quality & assists in reaching goals at any stage of a dancers journey. We create a non competitive environment that allows dancers to train hard, be inspired from top professional choreographers in the industry, and connect with other passionate dancers as well as mentors.

Co - Founders

Erika & Meri met while dancing on the BYU Cougarette Dance Team. They created The Collaborative to not only provide an elevated way of training for dancers but to also create an environment for dancers to find inspiration, passion, and love for dance.
