NEW YORK & LISBON, Portugal - Feb. 11, 2020- TIPDI, a series of dance workshops and intensives for adults who dance, announces a special summer classical dance event in Europe – Contempo-Collab Dance Intensive. Taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, Contempo-Collab features classes for adults from Beginner through Professional in Contemporary, Modern, Jazz, Theater Dance, and Repertory. Participation is limited to 25 dancers to ensure personal attention. The program is designed specifically for adults who love to move.
"We wanted to create an intensive that was fun, friendly, and non-competitive. TIPDI has built its excellent reputation on the fact that our instructors and participants truly value the experience, and occasional limitations, that come with being an older dancer. With our newest event, Contempo-Collab, we've put together a great, conservatory-style classical dance intensive with that in mind. No 15-year olds in Justin Beiber t-shirts with their legs wrapped around their heads. No crowded rooms where everyone already knows the warm-up. We are providing top-tier instruction in an adults-only environment, for a reasonable fee." Says TIPDI's Artistic Director and Contempo-Collab's Co-Director, Paula Wilson.
Divided between two week-long programs, each week of Contempo-Collab caters to particular skill levels.
- Week 1: June 29-July 4, 2020 is geared towards adults with advanced/professional dance experience and training.
- Week 2: July 6-July 11, 2020 is geared towards adults with 1-3 years movement experience in ANY style (dance, martial arts, yoga, gymnastics, etc.).
Classes runs from 10 am – 6 pm Monday thru Saturday each week and feature 24 hours of technique class and a 12-hour Repertory Workshop. There is an optional informal studio showing of the work from the Repertory Workshop at the end of Weeks 1 and 2. All classes are taught by award-winning choreographer/instructors Missy Lay Zimmer and Andrew Hubbard (Dance Magazine's "25 to Watch"; Princess Grace Award nominees; TEDx presenters on Jazz Dance; numerous Broadway and professional credits; guest faculty at Broadway Dance Center-NYC).
The fee for all 36 hours of the intensive is $500 US. Participation is limited to 25 dancers for Week 1 and 25 dancers for Week 2. Special discounts are available to dancers registering in a group of five or more. Early registration is highly recommended.
