8100 Dance Studio in Avon hosts acclaimed teachers for summer workshops
AVON — Studio 8100 in Avon welcomes dance teachers from around the nation this summer. The “Summer Dance Intensive” series allows participants of all levels to take classes led by invited dance luminaries and Studio 8100’s dance instructors. The intensives are one- to two-week long programs (in addition to the studio’s regular schedule of class offerings) in ballet, hip-hop and other dance styles. Guest teachers includes principal dancers from national ballet companies, choreographers with resumes that include movie, stage and broadcast experience and winners of national dance competitions.
“We think this is the trifecta of the way a dancer can take a week in the summer to train: They get high-altitude training, access to the best teachers in the world and time to enjoy the charming atmosphere of world-famous Vail resort area,” said Hilde Falk, Studio 8100 owner. “We are excited to show a wide audience our new studio, since we invested in the highest level of professional floor materials, a light and bright setting with floor-to-ceiling glass windows showcasing the mountains, and space to really move and express dance.”
A wide variety of evening activities are scheduled, such as meet-and-greets, excursions to other local visiting professional performances and more, all listed on the http://www.vaildanceintensive.com website.
