Why Intensives are so Important

1. A Jumpstart to the Year: Dance intensives provide students with an opportunity to develop their skills and technique which jumpstarts their drive and confidence entering into their next year of classes. The focused and immersive environment allows them to make progress quickly and experience big leaps in their abilities.

2. Personal Growth: Dance intensives are physically and mentally challenging, pushing dancers to their limits. Through this they develop resilience, determination, and discipline, which are valuable life skills. But most importantly, the confidence to know that they have the ability to raise to a level which may otherwise seem overwhelming.

2. Exposure to New Styles: At Week of Dance we bring together dancers from different backgrounds and styles. This exposure to new techniques, music, and cultures broaden our young dancer's perspectives and inspire them to try new things. Sometimes they even discover new places where they excel that they may have not otherwise been exposed to!

4. Career and College Connections: Dance intensives provide a valuable opportunity for dancers to meet professionals in the industry. This can and has lead to opportunities for performances, auditions, scholarships and mentorship beyond their time at their studio.
