STRONGintensive is a premier summer dance intensive designed for preprofessional artists aged 14–20. Over the course of five transformative days, dancers will train closely with Artistic Director Darrius Strong, immersing themselves in an authentic dance company experience.
This intensive is crafted to elevate dancers both technically and performance-wise. Each day consists of 8 hours of focused training, including strength-building exercises, choreography retention, and creating an original 20–25 minute work that will be showcased to friends and the community at the program’s conclusion.
Dancers will experience:
• Morning technique classes in ballet, modern, and contemporary to strengthen the body and build versatility.
• Classes led by pop-up guest master teachers, offering fresh perspectives and professional insight.
• Collaborative sessions fostering authentic expression and performance.
• Hands-on mentorship from Darrius Strong and opportunities to connect with the STRONGmovement dance company.
Requirements:
To ensure participants get the most out of this experience, dancers must have at least 2 years of training in ballet and modern dance. This foundation is essential for navigating the technical challenges and artistry emphasized throughout the program.
This program isn’t just about training—it’s about unlocking confidence, building bonds, and gaining the tools to thrive in any choreographic space. Seniors preparing for college auditions or aspiring to join professional companies will find this program especially beneficial.
Celebrating its 6th year, STRONGintensive is bigger and better than ever, hosted at the inspiring TU Dance space. Don’t miss this chance to take your craft to the next level.
