Performance Opportunity
Students who are enrolled in at least weeks 3-6 are invited to perform in CCD’s Summer Moving Project. This valuable program allows students to learn contemporary choreography and classical repertoire in an intensive rehearsal process. Divisions 5-8 will have additional rehearsal times throughout the week. Students enrolled in all 6 weeks receive 2 weeks of additional rehearsal time and may be cast in additional works for the showcase. This extensive rehearsal process will culminate with the Summer Moving Project on July 27, 2019. Additional fee for Summer Moving Project is $250.
“Overall, this entire experience has inspired me to grow further as a dancer, and I learned a lot from the guest teachers to the Artistic Director. I have never met such a great group of dancers, faculty, and staff. They have inspired me on stage, outside of dance, and inside the studio.”
