Dance students 12 and older are invited to apply for the USC Summer Dance Conservatory, a three-week residential program offering intensive training in ballet and jazz.
The Summer Dance Conservatory will be held July 11Aug. 3, 2003, and will culminate in a performance at the Koger Center, where conservatory students will perform classical works as well as new and innovative choreography.
Students in the ballet program will receive instruction with an emphasis on technique, pointe work, variations, pas de deux, character, modern, jazz, contemporary, and ballroom dance. Faculty will offer instruction on various levels, from junior to the Dance Conservatory's new professional level. At this level, students will receive individual coaching in addition to conservatory classes.
The jazz program emphasizes technique, jazz, modern, lyrical, musical theater, repertoire, tap, ballet, and ballroom dance. Students in the jazz program are offered four classes daily and will present new choreographic works at the final performance.
The 2003 USC Summer Dance Conservatory faculty will include Fernando Bujones, artistic director of the Orlando ballet; Stacy Calvert, former soloist, New York City Ballet; and Mia Michaels, teacher and choreographer, NYC Dance Alliance.
Admission requirements and audition policies vary. For details, including a complete listing of audition times and locations, go to www.cla.sc.edu/thea, or call Susan Anderson, artistic director, at 7-5636.
