June - August
COLLEGE SUMMER RESIDENCY
ABOUT
The purpose of this residency is to provide college level artists with the hands on experience of rehearsing and performing with a professional dance company. This residency will provide additional training and performance opportunities usually unavailable to dancers still enrolled in a college-level program. This residency fully immerses college-level dancers in a dance company’s journey of producing and preparing for a professional dance performance. Since most college or university students never have the opportunity to experience the real world life of a dancer post graduation, this residency is a incredibly unique opportunity to network and forge personal relationships with professionals in the dance world, as well as open doors for future mentorships.
