"The Company | E Summer Intensive is about giving our participants more than just class for the sake of class. It's about how that technique folds into the idea of a repertory company which travels the world. The performance opportunity with one of Spain's outstanding choreographers is a unique opportunity in performance, at one of Washington's most beautiful spaces, and it provides a gateway into our work as a Cultural Ambassador. Our workshops with leaders in Government and the Arts bring one-of-a-kind insights about both the state of the world and the state of the arts today."
