Projects
What is a project?
Projects brings participants together to work toward a specific purpose, whether it is a dance piece that will be presented in front of an audience, or training intensively for a period of time. It’s an opportunity to build relationships with dancers you will learn and train with over the course of a few months. The projects can take various forms depending on the artistic vision of the coaches and the participants engagements.
It is a full session journey with the goal of training and/or performing a choreography at the end of the season. To ensure a great experience for all, we ask to respect the length of your commitment (Sept-Dec/Jan-March/April-June/July-Aug).
