Most summer dance courses offer repertoire of some sort for the students. We aren't unique in that. But, because we take only 6 students per session, we can guarantee that every student will perform featured roles and dance a lot. It's not every course that can say that. The course concludes with an informal showing before a live audience in the church. To date every show has sold out.

We feel students should learn and perform rep for a variety of reasons. First and foremost - it is what training to be a dancer is all about - performing. It should be challenging, but not overwhelming, and fun to do. It also gives dancers a chance to do work from a variety of choreographers about a variety of subjects in a variety of styles. Technique is important and must be maintained but performing good works of art with thorough and good coaching is where the transition from class dancer to artist takes place.

We keep these things in mind when selecting the rep. All of the pieces are well known to us and we have either performed the works for years ourselves or have in fact choreographed them. Pam who does most of the rep work is a consummate professional at the teaching of rep. She is a long time rehearsal director of the Danny Grossman Company.

You are treated as adults at this course. Most of the students to date have remarked on this and found it very refreshing. The movement and many of the sequences are hand taught but after each rep class homework is assigned and you are expected to learn it for the next session. The dancers at the course have 24 hour access to the studio and a video machine is provided. Once the dances are learned we provide in depth personal coaching on the roles you will perform.
