DJD's June Jazz Intensive

East Edition:
June 25-29, 2013
Toronto – Ryerson Theatre School

Our June Jazz Intensives will immerse advanced dancers in to the style, essence and energy that has come to define DJD. Passionate teachers, intoxicating music, an encouraging and inclusive learning environment all come together for a dance experience you won’t soon forget, and will keep you coming back year after year!

DJD was founded to re-ignite the traditional values of jazz dance. Despite firm roots and a rich history, by the 80’s jazz dance had lost its connections to jazz music and to the vital spirit of the form. DJD was born to reclaim the spirit of the jazz dance form and evolve the art forward.

Schedule:
Full schedule for both West and East Intensives will be set by mid-late March. Classes may include daily jazz class, DJD repertoire, West African, Afro Cuban, Latin styles, and swing. Classes will run from approximately 9:00AM-4:30PM daily.

Tuition:
East Edition (Toronto): $420+GST
Acceptance into June Jazz Intensive:
The intensive is for advanced dancers. Participants should possess strong technical ability and solid understanding of fundamental dance concepts. ALthough being held at Ryerson Theatre School, the Intensive does not require you to be a registered Ryerson student
