Make sure to read about The Dance Bag Convention happening this August 16 at the Park Ridge Marriott in Park Ridge New Jersey. We cannot think dance retailer news enough for this amazing article.

🩰 Five hundred attendees. A slow month turned profitable. A local dance store now known for hosting a can’t-miss event.

That’s what Jessica Fernandez-Loscalzo has built with The Dance Bag Convention. Created to boost sales during dance retail’s August lull, the event brings together dancers, teachers, and top brands for a day of workshops, shopping, and community.

Now drawing more than 500 attendees, this year’s convention takes place August 16 and has become a model other dance retailers can learn from.
