Global Summer Dance

An innovative teen summer intensive connecting dancers from around the world.

July 1 - 13, 2024

Peridance's Global Summer Dance Intensive is a 2-week comprehensive training program designed for dancers ages 12-17 with the goal to develop, increase, and strengthen their level of technique, self-confidence, and artistry.

Students will study a variety of genres from renowned faculty and work with two fresh and upcoming choreographers in New York City. At the end of the two weeks, Global Summer Dance participants will demonstrate their work in a fully produced performance presented at Peridance's KnJ Theater.




The curriculum will include daily classes in Ballet Technique, Contemporary Forms & Modern Dance, Commercial Dance & Street Styles, Body Conditioning, and Choreographic Projects. The program will feature new works by choreographers Gina Menichino and Tushrik Fredericks!
