Distinguished Faculty
Our faculty have dedicated their lives to dance. Many of them currently perform or instruct at leading institutions around the world. They look forward to spending their summers at Interlochen, teaching the next generation of young artists.
Class to me is a place where you don't have to be scared if you do something wrong. You don't have to be scared if you mess up in the dance rehearsals because you don't get one chance. You can practice it more times in class. I really like doing more of what I love every day so I can get better at it quicker.
