2015 Summer Academy in Dance

This year's intensive includes Ballet, Modern, Jazz and Hip-Hop technique, Pilates, Dance Conditioning and Audition Prep. Again this year we are giving the dancers the opportunity to explore what we call Active Space, which asks that they choreograph and improvise using our Motion/Performance Capture technology.

Dancers will perhaps get to work with renowned UC Irvine Dance faculty including Lisa Naugle, Tong Wang, John Crawford and others, as well as with our stellar MFA dancers who come to us from thriving professional dance careers. 

Dancers should be talented, motivated, advanced dancers. Intermediate dancers may be considered should they be willing to work at an advanced level. This year's registration process will require submission of an audition video and personal statement upon registration.
