Announcing Dates for NEAD Summer Dance Intensive - August 1-12, 2011

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 still 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. 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.
