Centenary Summer Dance Intensive 2009    Modern Dance Workshop

The Centenary Stage Company will sponsor the 2nd annual summer dance intensive at Centenary College this summer, July 9th thru July11th, on the Campus of Centenary College in Hackettstown NJ. The three day intensive provides the dance community with affordable, high quality dance instruction by masters in the field of dance. Last year the intensive was attended by over 35 young dancers in the area, ranging in ages 14- 25.

"The dance intensive is designed to introduce young dancers to professionals who are currently working as choreographers, dancers and educators in the world of dance and theatre," states assistant professor of theater at Centenary College Lea Antolini-Lid. The Dance intensive runs July 9th -11th from 9-4:30pm each day. During the first part of the day the students will engage in various disciplines of dance and movement such as modern, jazz, ballet and yoga. In the afternoons the students will participate in a three hour workshop that will be led by professional choreographers and dancers.
