Arts Umbrella’s Spring Break Dance Intensive.

 
 

Arts Umbrella’s Spring Break Dance Intensive makes a perfect pairing with any Theatre, Music & Film or Art & Design spring break program. This one-week, half-day intensive is geared towards students with little dance experience who are interested in learning more.

Students will experience two styles of dance in back-to-back classes led by Arts Umbrella’s core faculty. Whether a child wants to try dance for the first time, get back into it, or brush off the dust before the spring semester begins, SBDI is a great way for them to get moving.

⁠The Spring Break Dance Intensive runs Monday to Friday from March 24 to 28. Students will be divided into two cohorts; ages eight to 11 from 9:15 am to 12 pm, and⁠ ages 12 to 15 from 1 pm to 3:45 pm.

To register and learn more about the variety of spring break programs on offer, visit Arts Umbrella.
