ABOUT OUR EVENTS…

FAQ’S

“I’m not a full time professional dancer, but i have a high level of training and am looking to expand my toolkit and network. Can I register?”

YES! If we haven't trained together yet, please go ahead and fill out the brief application form above, simply so we can get to know you a bit more. The intensives are geared towards those with at least an advanced level (5 +years) of technique training, whether that be ballet, contemporary or more towards street styles of dance.

“I’m a mature dancer, and I lean more towards choreographing and teaching now. I’m not sure if I can physically keep up and I may want to observe parts of the workshop. Can I register?”

YES! Our workshop participants range in age, ability and experience, and we think it is important to have that exchange of folks at different stages of their careers. Our faculty are adaptable - we realize folks may need a break sometimes. Feel free to email us with any further questions.

“What if a gig comes up? Can I get a refund?”

Sorry, no refunds. Our registration remains open until full so last minute registrations are welcome if there is space available. In order to prepare and properly budget we do not allow refunds. In extenuating circumstances (sickness, family emergencies, etc) we may be able to offer partial refund OR a credit towards future events. You may also feel free to transfer your passes to someone else.

Testimonials

“Thank you so much for such a wonderful intensive and week, it was such a joy to be in the space and to work with you, Natalia and the other dancers. I really appreciate you putting together a great mix of classes and for creating such a beautiful piece to be a part of.

I loved Darryl's morning class but I have to say my favourite part or the intensive was the workshop we did with Tavia, especially the work with the objects we brought in. I think opportunities to explore aspects of dance and art that aren’t just steps or choreography can be such an introspective and informative part of what we do. It also helps bring to light the idea of play within dance and that we should be always curious and having fun! I would love  to explore the concepts that Tavia introduced more in the future. 

I was also very grateful to be able to work on my floorwork with such a positive and encouraging group.

Thank you thank you again of such a wonderful week, I look forward to dancing with you again in the future!”
