Summer Dance Professional Studies
Summer Dance Professional Studies
The Professional Studies workshop offers a one-week deep dive into the creative process, teaching methodology, and repertory of some of today's leading contemporary dance choreographers. The workshop provides a space for dancers to experience the creative practices of a diverse and innovative group of choreographers. Through rigorous training and creative exploration, dancers are encouraged to step beyond what is familiar and into what is possible while cultivating their artistic voice.
