The focus of the intensive is to build well-rounded dancers in multiple genres and to cultivate an awareness for dance and physical wellness. Our focus, with a strong foundation in classical ballet technique, will concurrently study cross-training activities like Pilates and yoga to assist in the maintenance of a dancer’s top physical and mental shape. Dancers will have the opportunity to try multiple different genres of dance and will be given the freedom to explore the creative world of choreography. Following two full weeks of intensive dance training, dancers will perform a small, informal dance demonstration to showcase all that they have learned.
