From July 20–24, Hip Hop and Street Style will be offered for dancers ages 10 through adult. The program combines foundational hip-hop and street-style techniques with discussions of the cultural history and significance of these forms. Musical Theater, open to ages 10 and up, will run July 27 through August 1 and will include instruction in Broadway jazz, voice, acting, and improvisation.

The Young Dancers and Choreographers Intensive, designed for dancers ages 11 and up with at least two years of prior experience, will take place August 3–7 and August 10–14.
