International Summer Intensive Testimonials

A TYPICAL DAY AT THE SUMMER INTENSIVE

The day begins with a nutritious Mediterranean breakfast together will all the Summer Intensive participants at our cafeteria and social hall together with dancers from across North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australasia. Following breakfast, we warm up in one of our 10 large professional studios at the International Dance Village with a ballet technique class led by ballet masters and company dancers. Then we take a short snack break with fresh fruits and drinks and proceed to the second-morning class which can consist of either company repertoire, modern, contemporary, hip-hop, improvisation, depending on the day and your group schedule. After lunch, dancers take two additional classes which vary by day.

In addition to the daily technique classes, all participants have the opportunity to attend company rehearsals and performances in the company’s Zichri Theatre at the International Dance Village, where our main company creates and works year round together with Artistic Director Rami Be’er.

Teachers include Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company’s dancers, renowned ballet masters, international choreographers as well as guest artists. All the students live together in the International Dance Village’s accommodations; just a short walking distance to the studios, and eat all meals in the cafeteria, which provides a full-service dining room with kosher meals and extensive vegetarian options.

After classes, participants have free access to relax by the beautiful outdoor pool near the studios, overlooking the lush green hills of the Galilee and the Mediterranean Sea. In the evenings, following dinner, we offer fun social activities from baking Middle Eastern pita bread to bonfires, music and movie nights. Students living in the residence hall are supervised by our residential staff of live-in professionals. Weekends include field trips on alternate Fridays in the middle of each 2-week session to the Mediterranean Sea beach near The Village, to cultural and historical landmarks and plenty of opportunities to discover and taste local cuisine and meet first-hand the welcoming and diverse culture of Israel.

All activities and classed are supervised by our professional staff and residential counselors.
