TRANSCRIPT
Dear College Dance Educator,
The summer months provide a vital time for students to build upon their university training and grow as
artists. Regional Dance America’s National Choreography Intensive offers one of the very few programs in the world that trains and inspires the choreographers of tomorrow. Luminaries from the professional dance
world have led this program since 1961.
Building upon a rich history, the 2018 National Choreography Intensive provides dancers, emerging
choreographers, and seasoned choreographers the unparalleled opportunity to work, study, and
create under the guidance of internationally esteemed professionals. Janis Brenner (Choreographic and
Music Mentor & Choreography Instructor at The Juilliard School) and Jerome Begin (Music Advisor at The
Juilliard School) are the Directors of Choreography and Music for the 2018 intensive. With their mentorship,
choreographers experience technique classes, choreography sessions, afternoons spent creating new
works, nightly showings, and feedback discussions as dancers immerse themselves in new works.
The National Choreography Intensive offers students a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the world of professional dance and choreography. Your choreographers and dancers will be talented additions to
the 2018 National Choreography Intensive, and I do hope you will encourage them to apply. If there are any
questions I may answer, please email [email protected].
For the love of dance,
Erika Davis, CEO
For the most valuable experience at the National
Choreography Intensive, choreographers may
follow one of two tracks. The Project Tier Track
is for more established choreographers, who will
create a more fully developed work throughout the
intensive. Choreographers set a work-in-progress
on dancers, and this work is presented at evening
showings and is given feedback over the course
of the intensive. The Emerging Track is for young
and upcoming choreographers, to whom the
Directors of Choreography and Music provide
exciting new choreographic assignments for these
choreographers to grow in their craft.
Work, study, and create all in one intensive! The
Dancer Track is for dancers who wish to hone in
on the art of learning choreography. The National
Choreography Intensive offers the one-of-a-kind experience and vital training ground to work within
a variety of styles and train with some of the best
teachers in the world. Expand your technique with
daily classes in Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Pointe, African,
or Men’s Classes. Interested in choreographing too?
The Dancer/Choreographer Track operates during the
first week, allowing dancers to participate in choreog-
raphy workshops and create new works, while also
participatng as a dancer in the intensive.

of dance companies throughout the United

Development of member companies is further
