ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

"Summer is the perfect season to recharge, refocus, and prioritize personal growth. The dancers will have the unique opportunity to fully dedicate their time to physical development, mental growth, and technical progress. This is an opportunity to build strength where it’s needed most, refine their dance technique, and invest on their passion for dance. Take this time to strategize for both self-care and success, setting the foundation for a stronger, more confident future—both as a dancer and as an individual."
