Residencies & Workshops
Dance residencies go far beyond a single performance or assembly. They give students an extended, hands-on experience to move, create, and learn together. A dance residency provides to students the chance to learn valuable life-skills through art. It supports academics, health, and social growth, while giving your children unforgettable moments of joy and accomplishment.
We offer individual and full day workshops along with
1 or 2 week-long dance residencies.
Workshops
Students will amaze themselves as they learn basic moves and create their own choreography by exploring the American art form of Breakin’. This workshop is designed to build self-confidence and reinforce the idea that you can do anything you put your mind to doing. Students will learn key vocabulary, foundational movements and will be challenged to create their own choreography.
1-Week Residency
Through daily classes, students will participate in fun & challenging dance activities that will develop their rhythm, coordination, and body awareness. Students will also learn about the rich history of hip hop dance with a focus on the dance, music and diverse community that created these amazing art forms.
2-Week Residency
This extended residency offers a chance for students to take a deep dive into the history of the dance while being challenged to create moves and choreography of their own. Schools can choose to connect the residency to themes that connect with their school or local community. They may also choose to show-off their newfound skills via a culminating performance. This is a great way to honor students hard work that involves their friends and families.
