For intermediate to advanced dancers ages 14-22.

Improve your technique and advance your artistry in a positive and welcoming environment! Classes include Musical Theatre Jazz, Classic Jazz Technique, Ballet, Leaps and Turns, Hip Hop, Contemporary, and more. Students may register for individual weeks, or sign up for all 3 weeks and save!

The Intensive culminates with our Collide Showcase (only for those who register for all 3 weeks of the intensive). Video will be taken so students have a professional-grade copy to use for future auditions and submissions. Local students are also invited to perform excerpts from the Intensive at the MN State Fair in August!

Level placement requires a referral from a teacher or Collide company member, or a 2-minute video submission. Please send your video – 1 minute ballet adagio with pirouettes, and 1 minute jazz – or referral name and contact information to Nathan@collidetheatrical.org.

Price: $700-2100

Discover dance this summer at Threads Dance Nexus!

Creative Connections for ages 4-7
July 8-12 and July 15-19, 9:00-11:30am

Young movers will explore a variety of dance styles and how dance intersects with music, numbers, art, theater, and more. They will learn the importance of healthy bodies and minds, discuss basic nutrition, and how emotions can be defined, demonstrated, and calmed using movement. This journey of creativity and self-expression will be shared in a casual showing for family and friends at the end of each week.
