TWO WEEK SUMMER INTENSIVE                                

We believe the discipline of dance training gives young people a better understanding of commitment by offering them the chance to learn, experience the spirit of teamwork, and understand what hard work can accomplish.  Our goal is to educate the minds, bodies, and souls of our students, to teach them the skills needed for a successful life, if they stay involved in dance or pursue other things.  Classes will include Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Modern, Composition, Conditioning, Improvisation, Choreography, Nutrition, Team building, yoga, aerial fitness and meditation taught by our qualified staff as well as guest speakers and   instructors.  We will also rehearse performance pieces for community events in the late summer and early fall.  This intensive is mandatory for any dancer joining our Intensive Dance Performance Company for the 2021/22 season but is also great for dancers who want to explore their passion or improve their technique!  Choreography for next year’s season will be started during intensive in order to keep technique class time free during the year.
