Danceworks’ Summer Performance Workshops are for serious students who are interested in performing and have a minimum of 5 years of consistent dance training and are an intermediate level. Due to the performance component of the workshops, consistent attendance is required to participate in the performance opportunities. We do encourage everyone participating in the workshop to be part of the performance, however, the performance is not mandatory. (Choreographers must be aware of participation preferences before they begin setting the work).
