Rock U
ROCK U Weekend Sessions are a collection of 4 separate experiences / weekends:
FRESHMAN
SOPHOMORE
JUNIOR
SENIOR
You can take them over the course of several months or years if you choose, depending on when they’re offered.
Participate in just one weekend, or all 4. However, you must finish one weekend to qualify for the next.
In the curriculum, each session focuses on different and overlapping areas of professional performance, work, and the business of dance.
Each offers a distinct program, building on the lessons and energy of the previous one. It's about not only reaching the next level but exceeding your own expectations, going beyond what you thought possible for yourself.
