ABOUT:
Each day consists of two contemporary floorwork-oriented technique sessions (10am - 1pm & 2pm - 5pm). Participants can register through the button below for up to any TWO technique sessions. For example, you may register for a morning session on Monday and an afternoon session on Friday, a morning and afternoon technique session on the same day, or just one session. Registering for any more than two days will result in you only being registered for the first two available sessions you selected. Registration opens on July 14, 2023 and closes on Aug 01, 2023.
Most classes will be lead by Kizuna Dance's Artistic Director Cameron McKinney, and some will be lead by current Kizuna Dance company members. The teachers for each class slot will be announced closer to the intensive start date. The 2023 Intensive will feature afternoon repertory sessions for the first time! Join us to learn excerpts of the works that company performs while on tour.
NOTE ABOUT REPERTORY LEVELS: ALL sessions throughout the week are open to any and all movers. Our afternoon sessions will include a brief warm-up class, followed by learning choreography and phrasework from works in our active repertory. Our goal in labeling the level of each of the afternoon sessions is so that dancer will be not be surprised at the movement's complexity. We encourage you to sign up for any level you feel fit, to be ready to be challenged, and to use the session as a free opportunity to explore your own movement practice!
