This special, three week opportunity is a supplement of intermediate and advanced dance technique in addition to dancers’ regular weekly training. The goals of this inspiring and challenging intensive are as follows...

● To give students the experience of working with many different teachers and to motivate their versatility.

● To give students the opportunity to workshop their audition and improvisational skills.

● To make our ADA dancers stronger, more agile, more adaptable, and more electrifying performers.
