Headliners has partnered with Peridance, a premier dance training facility in the heart of NYC to provide dancers attending our events even more opportunities to work with professionals from Broadway, TV and film.
Peridance’s Teen Summer Intensive is a 2-week comprehensive training program designed for dancers ages 12-17 to develop, increase, and strengthen their level of technique, self-confidence, and artistry. An experienced and knowledgeable faculty strongly emphasizes clean technique and self-discipline within a nurturing and supportive environment. This program emphasizes contemporary forms and is tailored to push dancers both technically and artistically. Students will study a variety of genres from renowned faculty and work with two fresh and upcoming choreographers in New York City. At the end of the two weeks, Teen Intensive participants will demonstrate their work in a fully produced performance presented at Peridance’s KnJ Theater
