Our Contemporary Countertechnique Intensive is a high-level training experience designed for teen and adult dancers ready to deepen their contemporary technique and expand their physical range.
Built around the principles of countertechnique, this intensive focuses on using the body more intelligently—working with momentum, not against it—to improve control, reduce tension, and unlock greater freedom in movement.

    • Floorwork and traveling sequences

    • Weight shifts, momentum, and suspension

    • Efficiency in movement to reduce injury risk

    • Musicality and dynamic range

    • Contemporary phrasework and performance quality

  • This program is designed for intermediate to advanced dancers (ages 14+), including:

    • Ballet dancers looking to expand into contemporary

    • Contemporary dancers wanting stronger technical foundation

    • Adults seeking high-level, challenging training

  • Choose the week that fits your summer:

    • June 15–19

    Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM (Monday–Friday)

    • Move faster with less effort

    • Improve balance and coordination
