Our aim for the movementors workshop series is to provide a format that will be inspiring, supportive, and informative, giving students very practical skills and sound advice so that they can continue on their way in dance, surefooted and clear about what they need to focus on in order to progress as dancers. We also aim to offer an affordable workshop in a small group setting, where you can be in close communication with the teachers with individualized coaching and mentoring. movementors dance intensive is also highly recommended as a preparation for those who want to apply for SEAD’s Auditions 2023.
