About
Our Summer Dance Intensive provides a holistic educational experience for passionate dance students. Dancers explore various movement practices while expanding their artistry and overall knowledge of their craft in a safe, non-competitive environment.
Students will experience three different movement practices each morning and several specialty workshops of their choosing each afternoon. See the anticipated list of offerings below. We hope you’ll take a moment to recognize our decentering of Western dance forms as we strive to educate our students of movement practices that exist outside of the Western canon.
Anticipated movement studies may include the following: African Diasporic dance forms, Afro-Contemporary, Ballet, Ballroom dance forms, Bollywood, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Jazz, Korean folk dance, Modern, Musical Theatre, Pilates, Progressing Ballet Technique, Tap, Yoga
Anticipated specialty workshops may include the following: Composition & Improvisation, Somatics, Dance Appreciation, College & Career Readiness
Tuition: $350
Registration through Studio Director.
