BLUEPRINT SUMMER INTENSIVE
August 20th – September 1st, 2012

In collaboration with dance icon Drew Jacoby, founder of DancePulp.com, Peridance Capezio Center brings a new Summer Intensive experience to pre-professional Ballet and Contemporary dancers, ages 16-22.

Bridging the gap between conservatory ballet technique and the innovation of the current contemporary scene, BLUEPRINT brings dancers face to face with current influential dance educators and artists. Our mission is to expose students to the best in the business, helping them advance their dance career.

This Intensive is an exciting opportunity to polish technique, learn repertory from prestigious working choreographers, perform on a professional New York City stage and gain a fresh and unique edge!

Participating dancers will take daily Ballet and Contemporary technique classes followed by rehearsals of repertory of Peridance Contemporary Dance Company, William Forsythe, Nacho Duato, Jacoby and Pronk, Christopher Wheeldon and Sidra Bell Dance New York.

At the conclusion of the Intensive, a culminating performance will be held at the beautiful Salvatore Capezio Theater at Peridance, on September 1st. All participants will have the opportunity to perform at the culminating performance!

The intensive is open to Intermediate-Advanced dancers, both pre-professional and professional, by audition only. Students must register online to audition. Pointe work is required for female dancers.

Peridance Contemporary Dance Company and Drew Jacoby of Jacoby and Pronk will each be looking for prospective apprentices for their companies, for the 2012 fall season.
