Andrew Sutton is the founder of The Teachers Retreat (aka "The Get-Together").   In 1998 Andrew started traveling the world for dance and he hasn't stopped since.  Last year Andrew spent less than 10 days at home, devoting the rest of his time to traveling all over the world to teach dance and learn more about dancing, teaching, organizing, communication, & self-improvement.  Join his newsletter to read his tips on how to improve your dancing, teaching, organizing & more.

Each retreat has a slightly different staff.  To see the staff for your specific retreat, go to the specific retreat you are interested in from the Current Retreats Page.

• Mihai Banulescu has been a huge part of The Teachers Retreats.  He is the founder of The Dance Retreat, an off-shoot of The Get-Together, which has been designed specifically for Blues dancers.  He is the founder of Camp Blues, a live in dance camp designed for students as well as aspiring teachers.  Mihai has partnered with Andrew on the last couple of Teachers Retreats but he is currently taking a break to focus on other aspects of his career.
