What Defines Summer Dance Lab
Rigorous training and a multifaceted dance experience are the hallmarks of the Summer Dance Lab program. One that combines indepth learning and performance with creative development, promoting a sense of enjoyment within a supportive community comprised of other aspiring students, guided by a deeply experienced faculty and staff attuned to their needs.
"I felt proud to show off what SDL had made me..." SDL Alum, Erin Kalb
SDL is a pre-professional intensive program focused on developing well-rounded dancers who have the proper depth of training and experience. SDL will prepare dancers for a sustained career with the tools that will enable them to meet the demands of an ever-changing dance world.
