What is the Dive Into Dance Intensive?
The Nantucket Dive Into Dance Intensive offers an unforgettable blend of artistic growth and summer fun for youth aged 8-18 in the week preceding the Dance Festival. Dancers can opt to participate in a full-week dance residency highlighting multiple dance styles or drop-in workshops if they are unable to commit to the entire week.
Teachers
Our teachers inspire our youth and create the spirit and culture we aim to amplify in the studio and on stage. This summer, Laura Kaufman & Robenson Mathurin will lead students through the week in styles that span ballet, theater, Haitian, modern and jazz. Learn more about their background on our Artist page!
