Move With Purpose. Train With Intention.

Join Red Clay Dance Company this summer for a two-week immersive experience designed for advanced and professional-level dancers ages 18-25. Our Summer Dance Intensive invites you to sharpen your technique, deepen your artistic voice, and explore the intersections of dance and social change.

Grounded in African diasporic traditions and guided by our company’s signature approach to Artivism, this program challenges you to bring your full self—mind, body, and spirit—into the creative process.

Whether you’re preparing for a professional career, continuing your training, or looking to reconnect with your purpose as an artist, our Summer Intensive offers a rigorous, inspiring space to move, create, and grow.
