About

Study with Shenandoah’s renowned dance faculty and expand your artistry in contemporary, modern, ballet and commercial dance styles. The week culminates in an informal final performance of two repertory works by faculty members Tiffanie Carson and Daniel Padierna.
Admission is determined on a rolling basis with enrollment, medical, conduct, housing and payment information sent upon acceptance to the program.

The cost to participate in the 2023 Summer Dance Intensive is $875 per participant and includes tuition, meals, room and board.
More information regarding payment processing will be sent upon acceptance into the program.
If a student cannot attend the intensive due to illness or injury, they will receive a partial refund of $425. Last date for refund will be May 1, 2023.
Merit & Need-based Scholarships
The Summer Dance Intensive is able to award a limited number of partial-tuition scholarships to festival participants with financial need who demonstrate a high level of commitment, creativity and technical/performance ability.
