Program Highlights

Performance Opportunities

At the end of the three-week session, you will dance in a fully produced public performance. Our dance faculty will re-stage choreography or create original works for the event. We also have additional performance opportunities available by faculty selection or audition where you can work with other young artists in different arts disciplines like music or theatre.

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.

The Dance Center

Our 26,000 square-foot dance facility provides our students and faculty with amazing studios, updated technology, fitness centers, and beautiful views of Green Lake. It's one of the most scenic places on campus. Learn more about the Dance Center. 

My favorite class here is Composition/Improv. This class is helping me be quick on my feet and learn how to choreograph for when I'm older.
