What makes this program different?

Professional Observation & Discussions

This program offers students the unique opportunity to observe professional rehearsals and discuss their observations with a professional mentor. This combination of exposure and guidance is a powerful catalyst for individual artistic growth.

“I think that every dancer should experience at least one if not more ISI programs because it truly shifted my personal view on dancing and being an artist in the industry. I was able to hear about so many different perspectives from many different types of people and how they have managed their careers in dancing. Anyone who wants to be a professional dancers should 100% join this program because it was life changing for me.”

Summer scheduling can be a challenge. Our flexible programming offering dancers the choice to attend 1-week, 2-weeks, or the full, three-week program helps each student get the most of their summer dance education.

BUILD THE PROGRAM YOU NEED

  • This 5-Day immersion is the perfect introduction to professional work for aspiring dancers. The One Week program is ideal for students looking to gain new tools and insights that will help them optimize their performance at other summer training programs.

  • The Two Week program enables dancers to dig even deeper into their professional development. Training with the direct guidance of professional mentors, students will have time to both develop new skills and establish new training patterns benefitting long-term artistic success.

    *Students participating in Two-Week Session B will be included in the live performance.

  • The full program includes a uniquely special experience - performing with the pros - providing a rare opportunity for students to get a behind-the-scenes look at how professionals transfer all their hard work in the studio to the stage. Students will be featured in a world-premiere ballet by one of our celebrated choreographers and have the opportunity to premiere this work alongside the professional company.

CHARACTER IS MORE THAN A ROLE ON STAGE:

Students should be hard-working, self-motivated, respectful, and kind. Students do not need to be actively pursuing careers in dance, but should be dedicated to growth and the pursuit of their greatest potential. All participants are expected to be respectful, welcoming, and supportive of others. Any behavior or actions which disrespect, harm, or jeopardize the safety and integrity of the program and/or its participants will not be tolerated and may result in dismissal from the program.
