So You Think You Can Groove?

We had an incredible week at our So You Think You Can Groove Summer Intensive.

From August 27 to 30, nearly 40 dancers from Cochrane and area danced 7 hours per day with a stellar faculty line-up, including So You Think You Can Dance Canada winner Tara Jean Popowich, Harbour Dance Centre’s (Vancouver) Lisa Metz, illFX Education’s Jon Ray Dy Buco, and many others.

During the week, dancers took jazz, tap, ballet, contemporary, hip hop, salsa, and improv classes. They had the opportunity to sit with Tara Jean for a lunchtime Q and A session, had a special lunchtime activity on Wednesday that included a 30-foot obstacle course, body painting and pizza party and a showcase on Thursday, where parents got to come watch what their dancers had been up to all week.

Intensive camp is an immersive week of learning for the dancers, who get to experience a variety of styles from teachers who are working professionally, and get back in to dance mode, before our season starts on September 10.

Congratulations to Brynn, Julia and Jill who were chosen by the camp faculty to receive scholarships to next year’s intensive. Stay tuned for details, it is going to be another AMAZING week of dancing in August, 2019.
