Tuition: $475
Join Hatch Dance for four immersive days of artistic expansion, designed for the next generation of dance artists ages 14–22.
Dancers will begin the day investigating ballet with Helen Hatch. Through a contemporary lens, Helen’s approach to ballet prioritizes the individual, inviting dancers to explore efficiency through coordination, expansion through energetic length, and precision through articulation. Students will be encouraged to take ownership of their technique and discover artistry through presence.
Following class, dancers will dive into the repertory of Hatch Dance. Known for rigorous movement that is technically complex, highly articulate, and musical, dancers will learn directly from Hatch Dance artists who performed in the works. After lunch, dancers will stretch their choreographic voices and creativity through workshops with theater artist Jon Ferguson, and HoneyWorks Artistic Director Berit Ahlgren, both frequent Hatch Dance collaborators.
Requirements: Minimum 4 years of ballet and contemporary/modern training.
Scholarships: Limited full and partial scholarships available. Email hatchdancemn@gmail.com for more information.
