Improv Resource Center - Forums

Enrollment is LIMITED. Please email Karen with your intent or call the number below. Attach a resume if she doesn't know your work.
You know you love to dance. Maybe you do it secretly, when no ones looking. Maybe only in your mind. Aren't you tired of stopping yourself because you think you don't have enough (or any training), you don't think you have technique or someone once told you have no rhythm or two left feet?

Enough. Come use your skills as an actor to find out just how much of a dancer you really are.

Thrice Barrymore nominated choreographer, Karen Getz, will be running a 3 weekend dance intensive for actors.

The intensive will focus on building and strengthening the actors dance skills, comfort level and confidence while exploring character and story through dance, from an actors perspective.

Dance styles will include ballet, samba, rhumba, cha-cha and others.
