Our Faculty
Led by CLI Conservatory Director Teddy Forance, our faculty is one of the best in the world for students who want to focus on commercial and concert dance opportunities. Our instructors are not only great educators, but they are also the most in-demand choreographers working in every area of the dance industry. With a faculty that combines educational and practical work experience, our students are able to make strong connections with the choreographers they want to work with once they graduate.
