Announcing Dates for NEAD Summer Dance Intensive - August 2-13, 2010
Are you looking for an August Summer Dance Intensive to round out your
Summer 2010 training?
Northeast Academy of Dance in Oscoda, Michigan has just the right training opportunity for you.
We recognize that many students have a little extra time in August, and want to
refine their skills before returning to their home studios for the new dance
year. The NEAD Summer Dance Intensive 2009 will be held August 2-13, 2010 in the
state-of-the-art studios and dance facility built by The Northeast Academy of Dance in Oscoda,
Michigan.
World-Class Training
If you happen to be from Michigan or anywhere in the
Midwest, you won't have to go far from home this summer to find outstanding dance instruction.
Our studios are located just minutes from the beautiful, sandy beaches
of Lake Huron and the lovely Au Sable river. Many students combine
family vacation time with our intensive, as our program is designed to
provide intense, world-class dance training in smaller class sizes.
Of course, if you are not from the Midwest, we'd love to have you
join us.
Our two-week summer intensive
program includes instruction in classical ballet technique, jazz, modern, pilates,
yoga and original choreography. Students ages 13 and up take
classes on M-F from 9 AM until 2:30 PM (we will break for lunch), and students
ages 9-12 will take classes on M-F from 3:00 PM until 7:30 PM both weeks.
Placement level is at the instructors' discretion. We intentionally schedule
shorter days than some programs to provide our dancers time to mentally
process what they learn each day, and to physically recover from the
intensity level of the classes.
Some students choose to schedule
private instruction during the original choreography to help meet their training needs,
while others who learn the choreography may be invited to participate with our regular students
in our annual performances. Applicants interested in private instruction
should make arrangements early, as spaces are very limited and fill
quickly.
Lodging Information
Numerous lodging choices are available in Oscoda,
including cozy cabins on the nearby beaches and friendly local hotels.
All students are expected to find their own supervised lodging.
Student's families should make reservations as soon
as possible as area hotels and cabins fill up rapidly with summer vacationers. For
