About The Intensive: Designed to offer supplemental training during the winter season, the Peridance Winter Intensive invites students ages 17-25 to explore the teaching, choreographic, and improvisational techniques employed by some of New York City's most prominent dance artists in the contemporary field. The goal of the Winter Intensive is to foster valuable industry relationships and to expose students to an array of career opportunities while enhancing their dance vocabulary and expanding their network. This years collaborators include: Igal Perry (Founder of Peridance Capezio Center and Artistic Director of the Peridance Contemporary Dance Company), Breton Tyner-Bryan (Artistic Director of Breton Follies), Kristen Carcone (Third Rail Projects and Co-Founder of TOES FOR DANCE), Gregory Dolbashian (Artistic Director of the DASH Ensemble and Co-Founder of The Playground NYC), and Mike Esperanza (Artistic Director of BARE Dance Company). With 5+ hours of dancing per day, the Winter Intensive offers a diverse study of dance techniques, such as Improvisation, contemporary, ballet, and theater.  The intensive also includes a dance media class. In this class the dancers will learn choreography and blocking and then work together in a collaborative way to create a film that they can take with them when they return home to share with friends and family, as well as use professionally for dance reels and social media. The dancers will also participate in a photo shoot and a mock audition, to practice the skill of auditioning, while receiving personalized feedback from Peridance Winter Intensive faculty and staff members.
