Toscana Dance HUB is dedicated to the development of the whole dancer and is deeply devoted to a healthy approach to training. While asking each student to work with focus and intention, all teachers and choreographers enforce anatomically and emotionally infused techniques that are attuned to the specific pedagological needs of the dancers. We recognize the intrinsic, specifically unique talent of our students and encourage its development in a safe and nurturing environment. We support research and experimentation while rejecting a one-size-fits-all approach to education. Students at Toscana Dance HUB train daily in technique and creative classes, learn new choreography during the weekly choreographic residencies with international artists, attend dance performances, and immerse themselves in the vibrant Italian culture.

Music HUB is a music program for accompanists interested in playing and composing for dance. Students play for technique classes (both ballet and modern), attend lecture sessions, compose new scores for new choreographies and participate in a series of performance opportunities. Each musician is personally mentored by the music and artistic director. Musicians trained in any instrument are welcome to apply, but must be willing to bring their own instrument and must possess good improisational skills.

Junior HUB shares Toscana Dance HUB's mission of individualized study program and intense pedagogical approach, but has the younger dancert in mind. The program offers dance technique training, cultural outings, performance opportunities and one-on-one mentoring sessions. We are looking for young dancers who are specifically interested in exploring new approaches and are open to improvisational/experimental practices.
