8-Week Online Program 2021
Learn how to choreograph a dance piece and receive one-on-one mentoring from professional choreographers.
Our Dance Choreography Intensive for Teens is open to all high school students who are 13-18 years old. During our program, students participate as Young Choreographers. We will match each Young Choreographer with a dance professional who guides them through creating an original dance piece. At the end of the program, Young Choreographers will produce a fully-staged online performance that showcases the dances they make.
