2026 Contemporary Intensive
Monday, August 3 - Friday, August 7, 2026
The Rock School’s 2026 Contemporary Intensive will foster both technical and artistic exploration through training that reflects the diverse nature of contemporary dance today. Led by a world class faculty, students will be challenged to investigate their technique and open their minds to innovative ways of approaching movement. Designed for motivated students, this 1 week program will offer classes in codified contemporary techniques, while also introducing the dancers to repertory and composition. Additionally, an informal showcase of the learned repertory will be staged at the conclusion of the intensive.
