The Minnesota Dance Team Culture Convention is designed for Minnesota high school dance teams and their coaching staff. Whether you are a first-year dancer, a team captain, an assistant coach, or a veteran head coach, the experience is designed to provide relevant tools, conversations, and growth opportunities for every member of your program.

Registration includes full admission for your team and coaching staff, access to all event programming, cross-team breakout sessions, coach-specific experiences, printable resources, vendor experiences, and post-event recap materials.

Yes. Team registration includes admission for all program coaching staff, including both fall and winter coaches. Because the Coach Track is designed around leadership, communication, and program culture, the experience is intended to be valuable regardless of which team of yours attends.

Nope — The Minnesota Dance Team Culture Convention does not include dance instruction, choreography, or technique classes. Instead, the event focuses on the mindset, communication, confidence, leadership, and team culture skills that impact a team's experience and performance throughout the season.

Registration opens at 7:15 AM. We ask that teams arrive during that window, but not prior. During registration, teams and staff will have time to explore vendor experiences and receive event materials before programming begins.

Food will not be provided during the event. We recommend dancers and staff bring snacks, water, and any additional refreshments needed throughout the morning.

We recommend placing the event on your fall calendar early and communicating it as a team experience and expectation — similar to how programs approach fall showcases, summer camp, or other team events throughout the season.

To begin the registration process, complete the registration form on this page. Once submitted, Take Heart will review your registration and send an invoice. Your team's registration is not finalized and your spot is not reserved until payment has been received.

Yes. Capacity is intentionally limited to preserve the quality of the experience and ensure meaningful interaction among participating teams. We encourage teams to register early.

No. Registration is completed at the team/program level through a coach or program representative.

Comfortable team apparel or practice attire is recommended. Additional event details and preparation information will be provided to registered teams closer to the event date.

Pricing is structured by team size to create a fair and accessible experience for programs of varying sizes while ensuring all registered dancers and coaching staff can participate fully.
