2020 Dance Theatre of Harlem Summer Intensives – #STANDTALLER

Dance Theatre of Harlem School’s Summer Intensives provide a challenging exploration of ballet in a diverse and nurturing environment. Led by School Director, Robert Garland, former principal dancer and current Resident Choreographer with the Dance Theatre of Harlem Company, students will be immersed in all aspects of neoclassical and classical ballet training, following the Dance Theatre of Harlem methodology.

In addition to daily ballet technique, students will take supplemental classes in various techniques, choreography/repertory, dance history, master classes taught by master artists from Dance Theatre of Harlem, and special guests. Field trips to select performances in New York City round out these robust intensives.

For over 50 years, Dance Theatre of Harlem has offered students of all levels the opportunity to grow and develop as artists. Students who join us for the 2020 summer program will have a unique educational experience that will have them #StandTaller.
