Paige is one of our most charismatic and accomplished Tour Directors, and from her very first trip, it was clear that Paige had what it takes to give performance groups the care and attention to needs that create wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime trips!<\/h3>\n<p>MTC Tour Director Paige Carter was born and raised in Arizona and considers herself a \u201cdesert-dweller.\u201d She started dancing at the age three and quickly realized she had found a life-long passion for the arts. From studio dancing to the competition circuit, to a high school marching band and DCI color guard, Paige has always found a home within the arts. After graduating magna cum laude from Arizona State University with a degree in Mass Communication and Public Relations, Paige relocated to Orlando, Florida in pursuit of her dream job. There, Paige worked for almost five years for the Walt Disney Company, performing at Walt Disney World. From dancing daily down Main Street at the Magic Kingdom to teaching master classes to visit high school students for Disney Performing Arts, Paige&#8217;s favorite part was being able to make guests smile day after day in a place where magic is absolutely real.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Paige chose to go seasonal with Disney and move back to the desert to pursue her Masters\u2019 degree in Secondary Education. In her free time, Paige is an avid bibliophile and loves spending time with her puppy, Oliver (photo above). Paige is also always looking for the newest local restaurant or coffee shop.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote-primary\"><p>&#8220;One of Paige\u2019s greatest strengths is her innate ability to make each and every member of a group feel like an individual by cultivating relationships over the course of a trip. No matter the group size, travelers consistently remark that Paige is attentive to their needs and makes them feel like a valued and integral part of the trip. This, combined with her diverse performing experience and hands-on Disney training, make Paige a tour de force on the road.&#8221;<\/p>\n<footer>Andrew Moran, <cite title=\"Source Title\"> Music Travel Consultants Travel Designer<\/cite><\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2400\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2400\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/paige-carter-5.jpg\" alt=\"Paige Carter at the Winter Trolley Show at the Magic Kingdom.\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/paige-carter-5.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/paige-carter-5-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/paige-carter-5-791x1024.jpg 791w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2400\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paige Carter at the Winter Trolley Show in the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Music Travel Consultants was excited for Paige to share some answers to our questions:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>How long have you been a Tour Director for Music Travel Consultants?<\/strong><br \/>\nPaige: <em>I have been with Music Travel Consultants since the beginning of 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Do you have any background in music\/music education?<\/strong><br \/>\nPaige: <em>I stumbled into band by accident\u2026then continued to march all of my time in high school, and then turned around and taught throughout college.
