SUMMER DANCE PLATFORM / JUL 15 TO AUG 9 2024
DANCERS 15 TO 24
Spend four enriching weeks with NW Dance Project in an open and safe studio, connect with other dancers and artists, be inspired, and activate your artistic and physical practices in a spacious and stimulating environment. Dancers will work with NW Dance Project’s extraordinary guest artists and award-winning company members as they are mentored to push and develop their creativity, ideas, and versatility. NW Dance Project is committed to offering a supportive and encouraging environment so that each dancer can develop and discover their unique creative voice.
Each day will start with a ballet class followed by a contemporary technique class. Dancers will be mentored and participate in repertoire, improvisation, composition and choreographic development sessions Monday to Saturday. Informative discussions with our artists on career planning and life as a professional dancer will be offered as well as a wellness and injury prevention clinic.
We’re looking for dancers who are curious, open and desiring opportunities to push beyond their current capabilities. Dancers need to be physically fit for the rigor and intensity required in our SUMMER DANCE PLATFORM. This includes having the stamina to be fully active for up to 8 hours per day for our program.
Summer Dance Platform culminates in two public showings featuring NW Dance Project repertoire and original creation. This is a ticketed event held at NW Dance Project's Creative Center.
