Intensives

Intensives at Week of Dance
are a concentrated week of training with high-level faculty from around the world who come to Colorado to inspire this next generation of dancers. Each dancer will experience classes in all styles: Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip-Hop, and Contemporary dance. Additionally, they will have special workshop classes like "dancing on camera", "how to audition", "choreography", “dance history”, “voice lessons” etc. 

Schedule
Depending on the dancers age, they will be eligible for 2.5 to 7 hours of dancing per day. Each years schedule is individual since it is based on what staff is attending, but you view our 2019 schedule here for a general example of the type of schedule for intensive students.

Why An Intensive?
Intensives are a guided week of classes that reflect the dance industry’s growing and changing landscape. Students become close to a new community of friends and have access to new types of movement outside their normal year round classes making it a hugely developmental week. On day one, intensive dancers will be given a notebook and name tag so that guest teachers and staff can help provide personal feedback to them, and opportunities for them to reflect on all the new information brought their way. Special lunch breaks will include guest lectures and q&a sessions with professional teachers and dancers on staff and are only offered to intensive students. But most importantly, an intensive is an energized and inspiration filled kick off for another year of dance!
