"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.

In the afternoons the students will participate in a three hour workshop that will be led by professional choreographers and dancers.
