Brooklyn Academy of Music
Dancing into the Future
Feb 4—May 7, 2014
Students choreograph original work and attend performances by celebrated dance companies.
Teamwork, commitment, and self-confidence are the central tenets of this intensive workshop. Participants attend dance performances and learn diverse dance styles, such as African dance, Bollywood, and contact improvisation, from professional artists.
Collaborating on everything from music choice to choreography, students create an entirely original dance piece and perform their work at the BAM Fisher.
No previous dance or choreographic experience is required.
