Enhance your training this summer at Steps.
We are happy to offer an exclusively in-person experience for our 2022 Summer Intensive. There will be a limited number of spots offered each week. We highly recommend submitting your application as early as possible.
The Steps Youth Program Summer Intensive consists of five curated week-long programs offering dancers ages 10-18 the opportunity to strengthen technique and cultivate personal artistry in an exciting, challenging, and nurturing environment.
Each week features Steps’ core faculty and guest teachers who will engage the dancers in a variety of styles. Participants are surrounded by a community of like-minded dancers who work with each other to develop friendships and connections to last a lifetime. Mornings start with technique classes; afternoon classes mix styles to provide well-rounded training, and each day ends with repertory workshops in which dancers will learn a piece of choreography from a guest choreographer. Each week culminates in a special
studio performance on Saturday afternoon.
Dancers may attend a single week, multiple weeks, or any combination of weeks.
We are accepting a limited number of in-person registrations per week which will be assigned in the order payment is received.
Current COVID protocols for Steps require all students aged 5 and older to be fully vaccinated. If any changes are made from local mandates, we will notify all participants.
