Oberlin Dance Intensive returns this summer, July 7-13. Now in its sixth year of programming, ODI offers students ages 13-17 the opportunity to dance with the professional dance artists of Neos Dance Theatre as well as Oberlin College’s distinguished faculty. Our talented and caring teachers, excellent dance and campus facilities, and highly engaged staff members are dedicated to providing positive and productive experiences for every student. Young dancers at all levels will benefit in many ways from the Oberlin Dance Intensive: -Training with Oberlin’s outstanding dance faculty, many of whom specialize in unique dance styles from around the world: Ballet, Contemporary, Samba, Jazz, Improvisation, Flamenco and West African Dance. -Neos dancers, some of the region’s most acclaimed performing artists, provide invaluable professional perspectives during technique classes and share insights about the creative process. Beyond dance training, participants experience an exciting taste of college life on Oberlin’s beautiful campus. They will also enjoy a charming, small town experience: -Students can choose to stay in Oberlin’s well-supervised and safe residence halls. Or, they can commute. -Delicious, healthy meals are available in the dining hall for students. -Students will enjoy a night out together in downtown Oberlin: dinner at a local favorite restaurant; seeing a play at the Oberlin Summer Theatre Festival; and many other activities throughout the week. -Ohio Magazine has recognized Oberlin as one of the state’s best hometowns, citing its historic landmarks and architecture, quaint shopping and galleries, variety of arts and culture activities, and a powerful sense of community. The culminating performance on Saturday, July 13, will enable students to showcase the works learned throughout the week.
