This summer, the School of Theatre and Dance opened their doors to welcome students to the first ever Summer Dance Intensive.
During the one-week summer dance program, high schoolers participated in a range of dance courses from modern, classical ballet, jazz, musical theatre, yoga and tap.
Ambre Emory-Maier, assistant professor of dance at 蹤獲扦, spearheaded the program as lead director.
The dance division at 蹤獲扦 is excited to bring this opportunity to students that provides community engagement, learning and recruitment to the School of Theatre and Dance. Our expert faculty and beautiful facilities have so much to offer students in their pursuit of the study of dance. We hope that the participants can see themselves dancing at 蹤獲扦 and leave with a sense of meaningful learning and belonging, said Emory-Maier.
The intensives also offered lunch and learns with topics such as injury prevention and eating disorder awareness.
The School of Theatre and Dance offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance, a Bachelor of Arts in Dance Studies, and a Minor in Dance and is the home of the Kent Dance Ensemble, 蹤獲扦's pre-professional dance company.
