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, dancers had the chance to deepen their understanding of rhythm, improve their technique, and learn choreography in a variety of different jazz and tap styles.
Daily overview
We started each day with a warmup, followed by practical dance sessions in the morning. In the middle of each day there were seminars with our intensive teachers as panelists so dancers could rest their bodies and deepen their knowledge and understanding of these dance forms.
Learn choreographed routines
During the day, dancers had the opportunity to dabble in the rich diversity of jazz and tap dance. We held several sessions in various sub-styles designed to introduce dancers to the fundamentals and teach them ome choreography in a short routine, and highlight each style's distinctive flair.
Technique and conditioning sessions
Seminars and rhythm sessions
These seminars and sessions were crafted to not only teach but also immerse dancers in the rhythmic foundations that make jazz and tap dance so compelling and expressive.
