OVERVIEW
A unique two-day intensive tailored for dancers to enrich practice and training, centred around ESD's method. Teaching artists Yamit Salazar, Angela Reay, and creative director Eliot Smith will lead classes and repertoire sessions.
Each day will comprise two technique classes delivered in Ballet and Contemporary (Martha Graham based), followed by learning Eliot Smith's most popular work "PITMAN" from ESD's repertory. The intensive will conclude with an informal studio performance on the third day of the intensive.
Lunch will also be provided by ESD.
The intensive will take place at Newcastle Dance Centre, Newcastle upon Tyne.
​
Early booking is advised as there are limited spaces available.
​
Intensive recommended for dancers age 18+
"All teachers were amazing, knowledgeable in their subjects, welcoming towards all students and I appreciated that they gave personalised feedback to each individual based on their specific needs and areas for development."
"Teachers were 10/10 the whole way through. They were accommodating and caring and I felt comfortable in the environment where I could push myself movement wise."
