DSA Dancers are planning their summer dance study, as are many students across the country (and around the globe). The Department of Dance and Movement encourages young dancers to further their training in the summer, and recognizes there are many opportunities and the choices available can seem overwhelming.
Fortunately, Dance Magazine has published Summer Study Guide 2012 in their January issue, with articles that offer advice as well as answer many questions about summer dance training: Beyond Technique by Amy Brandt, On the Verge of Professional by Kina Poon, Learning from the Masters by Elena Hecht, and The Real Deal by Lauren Kay. They’ve also published an extensive list of summer dance programs (the link was available intermittently at the time of this posting).
Another listing of summer dance programs is available from the BalletScoop blog.
The Department of Dance and Movement provides scholarships to help their students with summer dance training. The Annual Silent Auction directly benefits this fund, and you can support the program by donating items, volunteering, and especially shopping this year’s auction which takes place April 27 and 28 in conjunction with the spring concert SPECTRUM. Visit auction.dsadance.org for more information.

March 8 thru 11, 2012, 23 Advanced Dance Majors will be traveling to Philadelphia to attend the National High School Dance Festival. Hosted by the University of the Arts, NHSDF is the only festival of its kind, where high school dance students from public art schools gather to take classes from distinguished high school and university instructors. DSA dance faculty, Ms. Karczewski and Mr. O’Banion will be teaching at the festival.
In addition to classes there are evening Gala performances by festival participants at the historic Merriam Theater in downtown Philadelphia. Gala dance works are selected by adjudication and represent an honor for outstanding choreography and performance. Over 150 works from 57 schools were submitted for adjudication and DSA’s senior dancers were selected to perform Shift, choreographed by guest artist Scott Putman in the Gala. This is the first time DSA has submitted work for festival adjudication and it is very exciting that the seventeen dancers of the Class of 2012 will have the opportunity to represent DSA on the national stage. The seniors will also be preforming Shift in their senior concert, February 15-18, and again in the department’s spring concert, SPECTRUM, April 26-28. Congratulations!
