PRE-PROFESSIONAL SUMMER DANCE INTENSIVE
For intermediate and advanced level dancers, ages 11 and up
Sara Rohs and Ally Kenison started this intensive in 2013 to help dancers learn the tools they wish they knew before dancing in college, auditioning, and working as dancers and teachers.
MCD’s summer intensive is designed specifically to strengthen dancers’ technique, confidence, creativity, and stage presence.
Various locations around Madison will be used to create a unique and exciting learning experience.
