A BIT ABOUT HOW WE WILL LIVE: This program has been created to give you an opportunity to experience Italian summer life in a small seaside town. After our initial stint in Rome, we will settle into the lovely Tuscan village of Caletta di Castiglioncello.
This year we have two options for lodgings: shared apartments, in which you will cook for yourself and really get to interact with the people around you, and a hotel very near the ocean with a meal plan. In either case, we hope you discover la bella vita -- the beautiful life in which we slow down and take time to enjoy a place, its food, its art... and each other.
A FEW WORDS ON THE TOURISM PORTION: It’s ridiculous to come to Italy and not see Italy, so we’ve built a “best of Italy” tourism package* into the program:
-2 nights in The Eternal City of Rome
-A weekend in Perugia (Umbria Jazz Fest)
-A day trip to to Florence
-An afternoon in Pisa
-A wine tasting in the heart of the Tuscan wine growing region + lunch in Medieval Bolgheri
MORE ON THE WORKSHOP: The workshop is a well-rounded program offering ballet, modern. tap and yoga* options, with the main focus being on rhythm-based jazz and its root forms. African, Swing, tap, funk, latin are all possibilities.
Dancers will have the very special opportunity to work with live music, and student created work is a very important component of the final showing. The magic that happens when we put musicians and dancers together produces fantastic collaborations. Bring your choreo ideas. Put an international performance on your CV!
Add to that well structured, fun improv work (that even students with fear of improv enjoy, honest!) and you have a recipe for a mind expanding experience that will open many creative doors.
FACULTY: All instructors speak English and are terrific. Generosity of spirit, fun teaching style, and the ability to improve you as a dancer are more important to us than having a big name in the dance world. You will LOVE our teachers.
Confirmed at this time :
-Michelle Contrino (USA; jazz, modern, tap)
-Leonarda Raimondi (Italy; ballet)
-Sharon Richardson (Canada; body rhythm)
