Hip Hop Immersion
6/21 - 6/25
9 am to 2 pm

For ages 9 to 15
All levels of dance training

Faculty: Rosemary Leach, Justin Hover,
            and BJ Paulin
Tuition: $220   Limit 24


Hip Hop Immersion begins each day with a comprehensive warm-up preparing students to dive into a rigorous regimen of strength training, skill-building, and challenging choreography. After being divided into age and level appropriate groups, students then explore several aspects of hip hop: old-school popping, locking, waving and breaking; current choreography trends; development of personal style through circles and “battles;" and discussions of hip hop culture and history enhanced by videos of the trend-setters of our time. Dancers who start with an interest in hip hop will leave feeling stronger, gain a deeper awareness of this influential genre, learn lots of new moves, and most of all, have tons of fun!
Modern Dance Intensive
6/28 - 7/2
9 am to 2 pm

For ages 10 to 15
Some previous dance experience is recommended

Faculty: Kaitlyn O'Donnell, Isadora Snapp,
            and Stephanie Lawson
Tuition: $220   Limit 24


Studying the ever-changing style of modern is becoming more and more essential for all dance students. Jazz, ballet, and even hip hop choreographers often infuse elements of modern into their dances, creating works with drama, depth, and meaning.
Each day of our Modern Intensive starts with a Pilates class taught by certified instructor, Stephanie Lawson. This core-strengthening warm-up is followed by an age and level appropriate technique class that introduces and reinforces concepts such as dynamic alignment, balance, transfer of weight, moving in and out of the floor, and momentum. Participants then explore the elements of composition and improvisation—essential skills needed to begin creating their own dances. Students also learn faculty-generated choreography to be presented along with their own works-in-progress at an informal showing on the last day of the intensive.
The Amazing Treasure Chest
