Our annual Summer and Winter Intensive workshops began in 2000 as a way to share our own particular way of moving and creating. We run our programs with the same philosophy that we have in rehearsals: to build a safe environment for everyone to do their best work and discover new aspects of themselves as dancers, artists and humans – with care, respect and commitment for everyone.
Our annual Winter Intensive brings together the essentials that shape the world we’ve built at DOVA. Each year, we reimagine how to share what we value most in our work and creative process, and this year we’re streamlining the program into five dynamic days at the beautiful studios of The Juilliard School. Alongside daily technique and repertory classes, I’ll be leading a collaborative event with the entire workshop—blending new material with pieces from the DOVA repertory. Together, we’ll create something unique that reflects the community we build over the week. We’re excited to learn, create, and celebrate with you. I hope you’ll join us in New York City this January!

Honestly the best week of my life! I feel so inspired and motivated to continue dancing which to me lately has been a very barren feeling. I felt privileged to be there and to see the company dance at the end of each day gave me an overwhelming sense of joy. I hope to continue to explore dance the way you all do at DOVA.

DOVA opened up a path for me through the dance industry that moves away from rigidity and judgment and towards freedom and authenticity. I have come out of this experience with a sense of hope that there are dancers and dance spaces in which I can be accepted for who I am as a human and as a dancer.
