ELEVATE YOUR ARTISTRY. EXPAND YOUR NETWORK. FILM YOUR REEL.
An intensive industry bootcamp that mimics the versatility required of a working dancer over 8 weeks. Designed for the intermediate to pre-professional dancer in Toronto.

Your Training Includes:
5 Guest Masterclasses: Train with a new industry specialist each week for the first 5 weeks (Styles: Floorwork, Camera Mechanics, Street Jazz, Freestyle/Improv, Performance technique).
