boundaries and learn how to
adapt their process in an ever
Changing environment. Over these
two weeks, our talented faculty will mentor
each dancer in the search of what is necessary
for them to push forward to the next level.

two sessions, separated by a
break for lunch. The morning
sessions will consist of technique
classes in varying styles,

will rotate between choreography
classes, body conditioning,
and artistic training. Styles covered
