Aaron Turner

Professional Dancer

Aaron first started dancing at the age of 8. He's had 13 years of formal dance training in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, contemporary, and hip hop. He owns a digital recording studio with his dad. Aaron graduated from the University of Nevada with a degree in Business of Music Management and a minor in Entrepreneurialism. Aaron first auditioned for season 9 and made it all the way to Green Mile round before getting cut with Zack Everhart. He later returned for season 10 and initially got cut again but due to the withdrawal of Emilio Dosal, he joined the Top 20, and became the first tap runner-up in SYTYCD history.

Dance Convention Teachers

All faculty teachers are scheduled to attend all locations, and to teach in all three levels. While all our teachers plan to be at each and every location, occasionally other professional obligations arise and a faculty member or two cannot attend. Excel works with many unbelievable teachers and will replace anyone absent with an equally qualified teacher. Our confirmed faculty for each city will be posted (with the schedule) one week in advance.
