2. Intensive
Studies Programs (ISP)
The ISP is a twelve-week intensive
studies program September 11th - December 4th 2011, and February 28th - May 18th, 2012. This
program is designed for college dance majors who want the experience of a
semester in New York City, and for international students who may be travelling
on 90-day tourist visas. The program starts with a workshop that introduces principles
of Limón technique, and consists of daily technique classes, repertory
workshops, special theory and practice sessions, a performance opportunity, open
rehearsals, and tickets to company performances. Applicants should be at the
Advanced or Intermediate-Advanced level and have completed the equivalent of two
years of college dance training.
3. Dance Training
and Arts Management Studies Program
The Dance Training & Arts
Management Internship Program accepts up to three qualified students a year to
participate in rotating three-month internships in areas such as development,
administration, production, archives, budget and finance, under the mentorship
of the Limón Dance Company’s professional staff. In addition to 16 hours a
week of the internship, participants design individual programs of studio work.
Applicants should be college graduates with previous office experience and a
specific interest in dance management. Tuition for this highly competitive
program is fully subsidized. Contact avachon@limon.org for more information.
