​​​In January 2024, our Summer Adult Dance Intensive welcomed around 60 enthusiastic dancers for a four-day exploration of different dance styles.

​

Day 1 was dedicated to ballet, and included sessions on Vaganova technique, artistic expression, ballet mime, pirouettes, pointe work and PBT.

 

Day 2 shifted to the rhythm of tap, featuring tap tech, Latin tap, Broadway tap, body percussion, polyrhythms, and listening for tap.

​

On Day 3, participants embraced contemporary dance, beginning with a yoga-inspired warm-up and delving into Cunningham, release, floor, and Forsythe techniques, alongside practical improvisation sessions and discussions on William Forsythe's improvisation technologies.

​

The final day celebrated jazz, with a jazz warm-up leading into sessions on lyrical jazz technique, disco jazz, Latin jazz, commercial jazz, and acting for dancers.
