TEEN DANCE CAMP INTENSIVE

AUGUST 16-20, 2021

​MONDAY THRU FRIDAY from 10AM TO 1PM
33 HAWLEY ST, NORTHAMPTON, MA
​sliding scale $200-$400

REGISTER NOW >>>


Unique in the Pioneer Valley, this program offers training in contemporary dance forms such as Modern, Improvisation, Contemporary Ballet, Hip Hop, African Diaspora forms, Composition and Dance Production. SCDT's summer dance camp is a good fit for you if you love to dance, move, create, and perform in a non-traditional and non-competitive environment.

SCDT accommodates young artists at a range of levels, where creativity, curiosity and enthusiasm is central, and company members become articulate, dynamic and skilled performers and directors. SCDT's Dance Camp Intensive aims to cultivate personal artistic growth, while striving for excellence in the arts. Teen artists are offered opportunities in diverse styles of dance and performance art that challenge their abilities, while inviting their own creative process to emerge. It is our commitment to recognize that each young artist brings their own unique artistic integrity to the company. Each artist not only feels valued, but is valued.​

This intensive will be IN PERSON in the Workroom at 33 Hawley St. in Northampton, MA. Please wear clothes that are comfortable to move in, we recommend layers including long sleeve shirts and long pants in case we are rolling on the floor. Sneakers are recommended, though the dancers will be primarily barefoot.
