Summer Workshops and Intensives
The Children’s Dance Division offers summer workshops and Intensives for the exceptional student. Towson University’s nationally recognized dance faculty and staff create an encouraging and challenging environment that pulls dancers into the exciting world of sophisticated, imaginative choreography and teaching methodology, while still emphasizing a strong technical foundation. Refining and inspiring the dancer’s body to reach its full potential is core within our curriculum, but educating and broadening the mind to appreciate and integrate one’s self-expression and artistic voice of dance past and present in all forms is central.
