We are no longer accepting enrollment. Stay tuned for the next InProcess series coming in 2024!

Move with exciting leaders in the Twin Cities contemporary dance scene

The goal of this series is pure process. The leaders get to see ideas actualized on movers in the room, and movers get to experience a single-day choreographic workshop with each leader.

Geared toward adult dancers (18+) with Int/Adv technique who are:

  • interested in "trying out" the movement vocabulary of various dance-makers.
  • committing to their movement practice ahead of a holiday break.
  • looking for a friendly creative environment without commitment to a long-term project.
  • Schedule

  • 11:30am-2pm, Monday through Wednesday
  • Join for one, two, or all three days! Discounts apply for multiple days.

    Overall I loved this intensive! It was amazing. Being in close contact with the company members was definitely my favorite thing. Being able to watch them in class and take their advice gave me an entire new perspective on not only how I dance, but also how I think about attacking or conserving my movements in a step. I am so grateful I was given this opportunity!!

    I was welcomed each day in class by being pushed to work harder as well as acceptance of where my movement level stands. Each teaching artists had so many unique offerings that each day felt like a whole new world of ideas. Finally, despite the days being long they did not feel that way, it was such a fun program to be a part of!

    I most enjoyed having the privilege of working with such a great group of non-judgmental and passionate people.

    Over the course of the rehearsals and performance, I realized that effective movement felt like a language I didn't know how to speak, and that the company dancers were completely fluent in. It highlighted my insecurities, but it also felt like it opened my eyes to how dance can serve as a language and a means of communication. I loved the experience overall, learned so much, and developed even more respect for the dancers.

    The JSB summer intensive was a lovely experience that helped me to ground myself in my body and my movement style! Every class set me up for success and the reflections from company members and teachers have impacted my dancing in more ways than one! It was an incredible experience to learn from so many wonderful artists and I am extremely grateful for the company, teachers, pianists and my fellow dancers for all of the special moments that have come from this intensive.
