$825 M/T/W/Th/F/Sa 12:00-8:30pm (take or observe evening classes)
This is your week. A full, immersive week dedicated entirely to you as a dancer — to move boldly, dig deep, and rediscover why you fell in love with dance in the first place.
CML's Adult Summer Intensive is an inviting, energizing intensive designed for adult dancers of all levels who want to grow — whether you're returning to the studio after a break, a dedicated recreational dancer, or a seasoned mover looking to go deeper. This is a place to explore, experiment, and find your voice, all in a warm, supportive, and seriously fun environment.
Rooted in technique and body science, the week invites you to question how the body moves and expresses itself — and to discover what your artistry truly looks like. Come ready to geek out about dance, anatomy, and movement, and leave with a deeper understanding of yourself as a dancer and a human.
The week culminates on Saturday with an in-house performance followed by a celebratory soiree. Come show what you've made — then celebrate the dancer you are.
