June 3rd – June 14th

A two-week intensive that will develop the student’s skills in learning choreography, perfecting the details, and performing. Dancers will take daily class and then dive into workshops and rehearsals to learn choreography and develop creativity. The session will culminate in a final in-studio performance on June 14th.

July 8th – July 26th

A one-of-a-kind immersion program, this unique experience is not only modeled on the daily life of our professional company artists, but allows students to work closely with a select group of them to help develop a more complete dancer. Students will foster their creativity, understand how best to work with their bodies, participate in small-group mentoring, learn the technical aspects of dancing in a theater—and become a better dancer! Participation on all days is mandatory. Final public performance on July 26th.
