Intensives are generally geared toward higher-level dancers, have a focused lesson plan, and long duration. This is for ages 8-18 divided by age/level, and dancers must have an invite from a studio teacher.

Dance intensives provide students with a rich sense of community and can help them form deep relationships with other dancers.

Summer intensives provide a unique opportunity for dancers to work in developing their bodies, their technique, and their artistry. In the summer session, students come to class during the day when they are not as tired from their schoolwork, and everyday activities and can focus entirely on their dance training. The intensity of attending dance classes every day and taking a variety of classes each day allows the dancer’s body to gain flexibility and strength.

The classes also allow students to be reminded more consistently of the correct body placement and technique allowing them to develop “muscle memory.”
