"Our Summer Intensive is like an entire semester at a conservatory all packed into two weeks," says Molly Puryear, Malashock Dance School Education Director. "Some people come thinking they’ll just take technique classes, but then they feel a connection with the amazing teachers and dancers — they end up staying for new works, repertory, and the mini-workshops. Don’t plan on doing anything else for those two weeks!"

Dancers who have attended our Summer Intensive in the past can tell you just how intense it really is. Class begins at 9 a.m. and, except for a one-hour lunch break, continues until 5 p.m. If you haven’t had enough, you can also take any of our weekly adult technique classes in the evenings and on the weekend. Past intensives have also included dance film nights and other social events.

This intense experience doesn’t just create great dancers and friends; it creates great opportunities, too. The Summer Intensive serves as the Malashock Dance company audition each year, and several of our current company dancers were first spotted at past Summer Intensives. With guest artists on faculty, students can also network beyond the San Diego area.

Don’t miss this year’s Summer Intensive! Deposits are due on Friday, May 28. Details and registration is available at www.MalashockDance.org .
