Peridance Center's Teen Intensive offers a challenging, four-week comprehensive training program for dance students ages 14 to 18 years old. The Intensive offers a unique opportunity for young dancers to be carefully integrated into Peridance Center's renowned training program. Commended by Dance Magazine as "a place for serious dancers," the high caliber of education at the Peridance Center has created a reputation for excellence, drawing students from around the globe.
Faculty members and guest teachers have included such acknowledged figures as Jose Manuel Carreno, Jeanne Solan, Robert Battle, Nicole Wolcott, and Patricia Kenny among many others.
The program and its curriculum are designed to challenge, stimulate and develop each dancer's technical ability as well as enhance their creativity, confidence, performance skills, and self-expression in a supportive, fun and safe environment. This program offers 25 classes per week, 10 more than comparable summer programs.
Students will be given the opportunity to experience what life is like in an actual dance company by learning repertory from an array of professional choreographers. This work will then culminate in a student showcase performance. This is open to the public, allowing the dancers the chance to demonstrate their progress and achievements to family and friends.
