Every summer, the Lula Washington Dance Theatre holds an 8-week dance camp for children and an intensive workshop for young adult dancers. Students learn choreography during the summer session and perform in a culminating summer concert.
Ages 7–15
Classes in Hip-Hop, Ballet, Modern, Jazz, acting, and more! Campers will go on field trips on Fridays and will learn dances for a fun-filled culminating concert. Students in this program invariably learn a love for dance.
This is a fun, culturally enriching, recreational introduction to dance for active, creative, beginning level youth and teenagers. This is for students who love to move and who want to channel their energy into something positive for the summer.
Ages 15–27
The Lula Washington Dance Theatre Summer Intensive is where we prepare aspiring dance students to become performers for our dance company, college dance programs, cheerleading squad, church, or other dance opportunities. Whether you are a polished professional or brand new talent, we train and transform dancers to become stars wherever they go — whether it’s for Lula Washington Dance Theater or dance groups in other cities. We have groomed dancers who have enjoyed success dancing with major dance companies, including Alvin Ailey, and in major touring Broadway shows including Lion King, Fela, Color Purple, and others.
If you want to become a Lula dancer, or, if you just want to improve, or prepare for any career in dance, sign-up for the Summer Intensive. You will take an audition class to determine your placement level.
Ages 9-14
This intensive is for the serious dance student, who has been training for upwards of three years. Membership in this group is based on dance skill.
