The week is designed to enable participants to delve deeper into their artistic pursuits and to enhance their pedagogical techniques in a challenging and supportive environment.

Sessions are open to the public, with a particular interest to serve choreographers and performers to highly experienced dance educators as well as teaching artists who are just beginning to work in the field of dance education. Administrators and participants from carious arts and educational disciplines are invited and encouraged to attend the workshops.
