Fusing Knowledge, Art and Creation
A Dance Intensive created out of a “want” and “need”. The “want” was the selfish need of wanting to find talented young dancers who can move and vibe with the ideas in our heads. The “need” is for those dancers wanting to push themselves beyond just the “normal” dance experience.
We want dancers who are hungry to learn more. Who want the experience to assimilate choreography and style quicker, learn how to assist in guest teaching situations, how to create their own classes.
Dancers who want aren’t afraid to make mistakes, who want push their artistry in an environment where they won’t feel judged, but are willing and capable of pushing themselves individually.
