PAST PROGRAMS

We develop programs designed for emerging and established dance artists with Ballet technique and traditional Modern training. To build our capacity to service the Greater Washington, DC area, we created the following programs.

Summer Contemporary Movement Program with Shawn Short

Professional opportunity to further ballet training for intermediate/beginner pointe students while introducing contemporary dance vocabulary.

Men's Workshop

Seasonal Workshop for the serious beginner male dancer to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of contemporary concert dance. Contemporary movement is a blend of ballet, various modern styles, jazz, and popular movement.

Weekend Contemporary Dance

A three-month weekend program designed for the talented student who is serious about dance but has a tight weekday schedule. Students build on their ballet training while developing modern and funk jazz skills. Classes are conducted Friday and Saturday at 7 pm- 9 pm, and Sundays 1 pm-3 pm. Students must have 3 years of ballet experience and be between ages 13-18.
