TWO TRACKS OF STUDY
SPARK: The Creative Dance Project is a unique weeklong summer intensive for the serious dancer who is ready for an intense schedule of 10-12 hours a day. There are two tracks of study: Performer Track & Emerging Choreographer Track.
PERFORMER TRACK
The Performer Track is for dancers ages 9-18. This specialized track allows dancers to participate in classes with Faculty, and also be featured as a performer in the Showcase. Performers will dance in works by the professional Faculty and also in works by the Emerging Choreographers. Additionally, they are introduced to the creative process through several improv and intro choreography seminars. Dancers must be currently studying dance at an intermediate to advanced level.

EMERGING CHOREOGRAPHER TRACK
The Emerging Choreographer Track is for aspiring choreographers ages 15-21. Choreographers must be studying dance at an advanced level. They are closely guided by the faculty and mentors and given daily choreographic assignments. Choreographers will be assigned performers to create a more fully developed work that will premier at the Showcase. Choreographers are chosen by the Director via a video audition. Choreographers are accepted for the full program only.
