Intermediate Modern Dance Summer Program

Students should have had at least three years of previous training.

Because of the vigorous nature of the dance program, participants should be free of injury prior to arrival. Any health-related concern should be acknowledged on the medical form and reported to the dance department prior to arrival. Dancers are expected to maintain a body weight that is proportionate to their height and bone structure.

All students are expected to be well-groomed; long hair must be worn up and off the neck. A complete listing of required dance attire and supplies will be posted on the website.
