This year, we kicked off January with a three-day dance intensive. It went so well, and we had such great feedback, that we've decided to offer this amazing opportunity for adult dancers to engage in intensive dance days to experience immersing yourself in the movement you love, and doing something for yourself.

Program
During the two-day intensive, we'll be giving you the chance to deepen your understanding of rhythm, improve your technique, and learn choreography in a variety of different jazz and tap styles.
Daily overview
We'll be starting each day with a warmup, followed by practical dance sessions in the morning. In the middle of each day there will be a seminar with our intensive teachers as panelists so you can rest your body and deepen your knowledge and understanding of these dance forms.
Learn choreographed routines
During the day, you'll have the opportunity to dabble in the rich diversity of jazz and tap dance. We'll have several sessions in various sub-styles designed to introduce you to the fundamentals and teach you some choreography in a short routine, and highlight each style's distinctive flair.
Technique and conditioning sessions
Seminars and rhythm sessions
These seminars and sessions are crafted to not only teach but also immerse you in the rhythmic foundations that make jazz and tap dance so compelling and expressive.
