The BOOM CRACK! Summer Intensive was established in 2012 as a platform for dancers across Chicago and the Midwest to train in hip-hop at an industry level.

As the longest-running hip-hop intensive in the city, the program has built a strong and inclusive dance community rooted in growth, discipline, and artistry.

2026 Program Dates: July 6–26

Our training approach emphasizes personalized feedback and technical development, equipping dancers with the tools to advance. The program includes dynamic choreography from our artistic team across a range of hip-hop styles, designed for intermediate- to advanced-level dancers.

The intensive culminates in a live performance at our Summer Intensive Showcase—an opportunity for dancers to share their progress with family, friends, and the broader community.

All dancers must apply to be considered.

Training opportunities are available for both teen and adult dancers.
