SUMMER DANCE INTENSIVE

​

​

This is a two-week full commitment program focused on training intermediate to advanced dancers in the Ronald K. Brown contemporary technique, while offering an opportunity for dancers to learn EVIDENCE repertory in a vigorous rehearsal setting.

The two-week session will culminate in a public performance on September 1st at the Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Plaza

TECHNIQUE CLASS CURRICULUM

The two-week technique curriculum includes a daily technique class, where dancers will be guided through stretching and conditioning exercises that support a dancer’s flexibility, strength, and overall fitness. Information about injury prevention and tools to maintain their physical readiness in support of their dance training will be taught throughout the course. Classes will end with Ronald K. Brown movement phrases across the floor to enhance the techniques and movement style of EVIDENCE.

In order to give the students the most effective and focused training, all students will be evaluated on the first day of the first class taught by Ronald K. Brown, and placed in the appropriate level considering technique and experience.

​

​

REPERTORY CLASS

Repertory classes are designed to allow the dancer to experience a professional rehearsal process, not only learning EVIDENCE repertory, but learning the fundamentals and expectations of a professional dancer in the rehearsal process.
