"An incredible, welcoming experience."

   -- Julianne K. 2018 Alumni

An amazing, one-of-a-kind week in the Nation's Capital IN THE STUDIO or online through our VIRTUAL INTENSIVE experience.

The Annual Company | E Breaking Bounds Summer Intensive is a weeklong immersion into the art, artistry, technique and performance world of one of America's leading Contemporary Dance Companies and Cultural Ambassadors.

With both an In The Studio and a Virtual experience for those who can join us in DC and those who are with us online only.

Spend five extraordinary days training with members of the Repertory Company, meeting leaders in the U.S. Government's Department of State and DC's performing arts scene and get a look at what a career in Cultural Diplomacy can be.

Explore new creative tools borne from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The VIRTUAL INTENSIVE live-streams our in-the-studio classes and offers "virtual only" seminars with guest speakers and choreographers.

- Technique training geared towards succeeding in a repertory company
- Choreography and performance with the Company
- Seminars on Cultural Diplomacy, performing and presenting in field today
- Photography and film sessions to build your portfolio
- Creating in a virtual environment

"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.  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."
