BANDALOOP ASCENDED: Intermediate Adult Intensive

This is a workshop for committed dancers who want to take their vertical dancing to the next level. A perfect pairing with our previous summer intensive week, BANDALOOP Ascended will focus on advanced vertical dance skills, choreographic tools, performance presence, BANDALOOP repertory and body wellness. A focus of this week will be adapting the skills, technique and safety awareness developed in the studio to an outdoor dance wall. Students will have multiple opportunities to train with big loft and experience rooftop load-ins. All gear will be supplied. This week includes two full days on an outdoor dance wall in Oakland.

Prerequisites: BANDALOOPing Open Level Intensive or equivalent BANDALOOP training. Experienced vertical dancers can apply to attend by sending brief details of experience and a vertical dance video sample that demonstrate the student’s ability to take off and land safely, run a pendulum, and rotate in space. Send work samples to workshop@bandaloop.org
