Crash Course: the Intensive 2025
August 3-16
Hothouse & Luminary Arts Center
Teens & Adults, ages 13-24
$299
Join Minneapolis contemporary company Crash Dance Productions for our annual 2-week intensive. Train with company members, then work with guest teaching artists to learn a piece of repertory to be performed alongside the entire Crash family in their summer show, A Wave of Two Sides, at Luminary Arts Center.
During week 1, dancers will attend a daily session that will include a mini-class (warm up, contemporary dance technique, progressions and combinations, and improvisational exercises) and rehearsal for a repertory piece, at Hothouse in Minneapolis. During week 2, dancers will attend technical & dress rehearsals, and perform their repertory piece in a run of shows at Luminary Arts Center. Tickets for A Wave of Two Sides will be available at luminaryartscenter.com.
Dancers ages 13-17 (incoming grades 7-12) should register for our Teen Intensive. The teen intensive is recommended for middle school or high school students that attend/have attended dance studios or programs, and are looking for an immersive introduction to concert dance.
Dancers ages 18-24 (post-secondary) should register for our Adult Intensive. The adult intensive is recommended for dancers with a strong contemporary dance background, or movers who have trained in contemporary, ballet, jazz, or modern dance.
