Lula Washington Dance Theatre Summer Intensive

Performance Opportunities for Aspiring Professionals

The internationally-acclaimed Los Angeles Modern dance company, Lula Washington Dance Theatre holds its Professional Development Workshop (PDW) from June 18th to August 5th. The unique summer intensive program offers technical training, career mentorship, and the opportunity to perform and tour in LWDT's 2007-2008 season! Students can enroll for the entire program or for selected weeks during the summer months. Classes can also be taken on an independent, daily basis. Held in its new state-of-the-art facility at 3773 South Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles, this program continues LWDT's quarter-century legacy of grooming young dancers for professional careers in a competitive dance world.

The PDW program, which is designed for intermediate/advanced teens, recent high school graduates, college students, and aspiring dance professionals, seeks to develop dancers who can sustain themselves in concert dance, commercial, theatrical, or Broadway dance work. The program meets five days a week for five hours a day, on an evening schedule modeled after that of many professional companies. PDW participants take daily technique classes and have special workshops and seminars on a range of topics, including but not limited to: dance career options, financial management, and audition techniques. They also attend daily rehearsals, audition with master choreographers, and make valuable, lasting connections with seasoned dance industry professionals.
