Located in the spacious facilities of the Reston Community Players Rehearsal Hall, LMproject's Summer Intensive is designed for young performers who are interested in learning the styles of dance that make up Broadway.

We will also being offering apprenticeships for our older dancers (15-18), who will learn directly from the instructors by being part of the teaching and creative process. Dancers will be divided into classes by level of training (Beginner/Intermediate & Intermediate/Advanced). This intensive also features activities that are designed by our experienced and enthusiastic staff specifically to create well rounded young performing artists. We offer Jazz, Stretch Technique, Musical Theater, Stage Combat, Basic Movement for Beginners, Acting & Improv, and more!

BEFORE AND AFTER CARE

Our daily program will run from 9:00am - 5:00pm. There will be additional programming offered from 8:00am-9:00am and 5:00pm - 6:30pm. Programming will consist of dance and drama games, technical theatre opportunities, movies, and snack (for the afternoon session only).

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING

Every day after lunch we will have a 45 minute educational workshop. We will focus on basic theater knowledge, and performance skills. We will also be holding a workshop on auditioning with Brian Collier, Dance Supervisor for Mary Poppins Broadway Show and National Tour.

TECHNIQUE CLASSES

Throughout the week, students will participate in basic movement, theater jazz, stretching, hip hop, stage combat, acting and improvisation, and musical theater technique classes. These technique classes provide the dancers a stronger base for continued growth and artistic development.

WORKSHOP & PERFORMANCE

Dancers will spend two periods each day in workshop classes. These workshop classes will draw from what they are learning and reviewing in their technique classes. The two workshop performance pieces will allow them to rehearse a two dance numbers and any other numbers being performed on Friday afternoon for family and friends. There will be a DVD recording of this performance mailed home after camp is over as our gift to you.
