In the studio, they teach classes small enough for individual coaching and create rehearsal environments that prepare you for the demands of a professional company. Outside the studio, they are the Festival's international artistic community. This intense and inspiring mix creates life-changing experiences for dancers who are ready for professional advancement.
Please let me know if I can be of help as you apply. I look forward to welcoming you to the Pillow.
