Summer Music & Dance Intensives
As part of the Summer Music and Dance Institute, for students ages 9 - 12 we are excited to offer several intensive music and dance courses including: Dance Intensive, Music Production and Composition Intensive, Orchestra Intensive, Jazz Intensive, Musical Theatre Intensive, and Rock Band Intensive.These courses are tailored specifically to engage older, more experienced students. Rather than sampling a variety of music and dance classes, students have the opportunity to delve deeply into one specific instrument or subject matter.
