☀As summer classes approach, we're thinking about our goals, how will we grow this summer, and how can we learn the most from our instructors?

Why is summer dance so important? Summer is a great time to get focused on technique. Dancers have the opportunity to invest more energy and attention on class material (sometimes 8 hours a day!) and how they approach it. They explore a variety of dance styles from teachers they know and guest instructors from around the world. What lessons can we learn from dancers of different backgrounds? What do we take away in order to shape our artistic identity?

It's all about the approach. Take notes, be open, come prepared, get ready to move. What will your summer look like?
