Summerdance 2010

Repertory Dance Theatre is extending an invitation to all who are serious about dance to participate in a two-week in-depth personalized dance experience June 28-July 9, 2010. This unique workshop will offer students the opportunity to work in an intimate setting with the RDT dancers, one on one as mentors, teachers, coaches and collaborators.

The goal of Summerdance 2010 is to create personal and meaningful contact between the RDT dancers and workshop students to establish a lasting connection that will influence, inform and inspire all involved. Workshop classes will focus on the technical, creative and performance aspects of being a dance artist. All classes will be taught by the RDT company members with small and large group sessions throughout the day.
