Summer Dance Project

Summer Dance Project is held for upper level dancers who are looking to strengthen their technical training. An essential part of the program is the visiting artists that are invited for one week to teach dance classes in their specialty.

These artists come with strong technical classes as well as innovative choreography. The dancer is expected to improve in the area of movement quality and gain a greater understanding of dance theory and composition. Students are admitted into Summer Dance Project by recommendation of the East Athens Educational Teaching Staff. Students who wish to be considered for this program will need to make an appointment for a special audition. Students from other dance schools will need to bring a recommendation from their school. This

recommendation should include the names of the instructors, types of training, and the level of the training in which the student has achieved. An audition with East Athens Educational Dance Center is also required. An audition may be scheduled by calling 706-613-3624.

(Students that are not intending to return for Fall Quarter classes are ineligible to participate in any works-in-progress to be presented in the annual dance production.) Class is limited to 20 students.

We do not accept new students over the age of 15. Students over the age of 15 must be currently enrolled in our Accelerated Program.
