Acadia Dance Festival is thrilled to offer our first-ever Summer Intensive for young dancers. This week-long program for dancers aged 14-22 offers a rigorous, creatively engaging week of contemporary dance training.
The Summer Intensive is designed for high-school and college-aged dancers who are looking to expand their training, explore their artistry, and gain experience in a professional-level dance setting. Faculty are experts in the field who have carefully crafted curriculum to help young dancers grow technically, artistically, and professionally. The program aims to contribute to the vibrancy of arts education in Downeast Maine by cultivating a new generation of engaged dance artists.
Participants will take morning class with a diverse lineup of Maine-based dance artists, benefit from a daily rotation of special topics such as injury prevention, audition skills, and improvisation techniques, and develop a piece of original choreography with company dancers from Nimbus Dance. Summer Intensive students will perform this new work in two live performances on Saturday, July 30th at the 1932 Criterion Theater alongside professional performers from the larger New York and New England regions.
