Summer Dance Intensive

Indiana University High School Summer Dance Intensive (July 6-17, 2021)

Dear High School Summer Dance Families and Students,

Thank you for your inquiry about summer 2021. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic and mitigation limitations we are not able at this time to affirm whether the July 6-17, 2021 High School Summer Dance intensive residential program will take place.

We are proceeding as if it may occur, yet are holding off on accepting applications or deposits until later in March of this year when we will hopefully get a decision from IU based on the status of COVID 19 infections nationally.

We may host a virtual on-line workshop, but this would be over four days as opposed to our usual two week in-person workshop.

If you would like to be contacted about applying for the program with a March 15 open date for application, and an April 15th acceptance notification and deposit due, please email Selene Carter at sbcarter@indana.edu and include the following:

Student dancer’s full name and grade level for fall 2021
Family contact information including email, and full name of legal guardian(s)
Mailing address and phone number

Thank you, both for your interest in IU dance for your High School student, and for your patience with a planning situation in flux due to the pandemic.

Please contact me with any additional questions about the IU High School Summer Dance Intensive.

Sincerely,
Selene Carter, M.F.A.
Associate Professor, Associate Chair

Find out what it means to major in dance in college by participating in an immersive high school dance experience. The Indiana University High School Summer Dance Intensive (IUHSSDI), is carefully designed to give rising 9th – 12th grade students an opportunity to study dance at the university level.

Participants study with IU Contemporary Dance Faculty and renowned Guest Artists, in a variety of concert and cultural dance forms, creative practices, and theoretical subjects reflective of our B.F.A. program. All classes are held on the beautiful IU campus and culminate on the final day of the intensive, with a Studio Showcase, held for family and friends.

Supervised 24 hours a day by professional Resident Advisors (RA’s), IUHSSDI participants are housed in their own section of a university residence hall, with male and female students occupying separate floors. Meals are included in tuition, with each student receiving a meal card for use in one of IU’s many food courts. And, when students are not in class, RA’s facilitate social activities that tap into the rich variety of campus and community resources as well as downtime to enjoy time with peers.
