Summer Dance Intensive

The Summer Dance Intensive (SDI) is a rigorous and comprehensive summer dance training program offered during the summer months for serious students aged 8-22.
Each year, our very own Hartt Community Division faculty are joined by renowned guest teachers to provide a well-rounded curriculum that challenges dancers to push past their limits and grow in their craft.
The Intensive offers training in the following genres:
- Ballet
- Character
- Conditioning
- Contemporary
- Jazz
- Magna PT Workshops
- Men's Classes
- Modern
- Pointe
- Repertoire
- Variations
Students audition for SDI in Spring and can participate in all 4 weeks the program is offered (or as many as their schedule allows). Held at The Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center off campus and culminating in a performance showcase, the Hartt Community Division's Summer Dance Intensive allows serious students to focus on their development as a dancer.
2026 dates and more information will be available late 2025.
