About the Intensive

HDC's Summer Intensive is our largest and most diverse training experience of the season. Designed for dancers ages 7 and up, this intensive offers a dynamic week of high-level classes across a variety of genres-led by an extraordinary faculty of guest artists, both locally and nationally renowned.

Dancers will train in styles such as jazz, contemporary, ballet, hip hop, improv, tap, and more. Each day is curated to challenge, inspire, and equip dancers to grow in technical skill, versatility, and performance artistry. All classes will be taught at a high level, with each dancer being challenged fairly and appropriately within their assigned group.
