SUMMER IN L.A. DANCE INTENSIVE DANCERS, THIS INFO IS FOR YOU!!

For 3 action-packed days, you’ll meet, dance, and interact with a team of pros, choreographers, agents, and producers. Their credits are outstanding and cover almost every high-profile project that’s happened in the last ten years (see below).

REACH FOR THE STARS WITH BE DISCOVERED!

What's New with this years Summer in L.A.?

IMAGE IS EVERYTHING! THE HOLLYWOOD MAKE OVER

Add this 3 day program to either the Dance Intensive or the Hip Hop Intensive. This program is not just for the serious dancers who want to have an edge in the industry but also for all dancers who want to learn to look and feel their best.

This is new this year and will be a hit not only for the dancers but also for the agents and professionals working with the dancers. They will see that these dancers are very serious and are taking the advice that other dancers in the past have received from them.

If you sign up for the Extended Intensive, the Image program is yours for just $200. (Savings of $1000)

THE DANCE INTENSIVE

* 3 day Career Master Intensive with Tony Award winner Grover Dale. Although we have been working with Grover for the last few years, his workshop has gone from a 1 day, to 2 days and now this year, 3 days!!! Work with 6 choreographers, 6 working dancers, showcase for 12 dance agents and be scouted by the executive producer of a new reality TV show looking for dancers and choreographers. This will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

* As we have 1 extra day of dance at Grover's workshop, instead of spending Friday at the Edge taking classes, we will now be at the Edge on Tuesday. On Tuesday was the full day of private dance workshops, so as we won't be able to be at IDA on Tuesday, these workshops will now take place at Ography Studios following the 3 day Grover Dale workshops.

* Optional photo shoot with Lee Cherry will be at a new studio. This is great for returning dancers as they will now be able to have new backgrounds, new looks and more room to dance at the shoot. Lee has also invited a dance agent to come to the shoot for a meet and greet with the dancers and a chat and Q & A. This will be a part of both the Dance Intensive and the Hip Hop Intensive. Maybe if Adam Lambert is available, he too will stop by for a meet and greet. Adam came in 2nd in this years American Idol.


THE HIP HOP INTENSIVE

* We are awaiting info on who the choreographers will be at this years Urban Moves workshops. These are put on by the producers of America's Best Dance Crew. We are excited and can't wait to hear who they will be. This year we are back in Vegas and so it is exciting to be able to dance and tour both Los Angeles and Las Vegas in this 1 week not to be missed dance experience of a lifetime. Stay tuned for details!

* As Hip Hop dancers, you need to be versatile and with the Hip Hop Intensive, you will challenge yourself with new urban dance styles including old school and new school hip hop, house, krumping and more. We recently had workshops with Beat Freaks Lindsey B and she introduced Contemporary Hip Hop to Hip Hop dancers. At 1st, they were worried that they would not be able to do this as they weren't contemporary dancers and once they tried it, this was their favorite class. Contemporary Hip Hop will be a part of this intensive.

* Optional photo shoot with Lee Cherry will be at a new studio. This is great for returning dancers as they will now be able to have new backgrounds, new looks and more room to dance at the shoot. Lee has also invited a dance agent to come to the shoot for a meet and greet with the dancers and a chat and Q & A. This will be a part of both the Dance Intensive and the Hip Hop Intensive. Maybe if Adam Lambert is available, he too will stop by for a meet and greet. Adam came in 2nd in this years American Idol.

* As you will already be in Vegas, add on the Vegas Convention taking place August 3 and 4. Here you will continue your dance training in Hip Hop as well as other dance styles. This is also new this year and is not an annual dance experience so be sure to take advantage of this program as it won't be taking place in 2010. www.summerinla.com/vegas

Spirituality and the entertainment industry

We think that spirituality and the entertainment industry should come together. Why not? Why do they have to be two different things instead of coming together to help heal the world!

Recently I was listening to some hip hop songs that my 10 year old nephew was listening to on the radio and I couldn't believe some of the lyrics that were actually being played on the radio. All mature content and really, nothing worth listening to or having a point. Yes the beats sound awesome but the messages are negative and not inspiring and uplifting. The industry needs to change this and parents need to be more aware of what their kids are listening to on the radio and watching online and on TV.

I also saw recently some photos and videos of a program in L.A that had young teens dressed trashy during a video shoot and I was shocked. I think that I am open minded and although I am in my late 30's, I think that I am still young and progressive but I was not only embarrased for their program, but I felt sorry for these kids who are being taught that to make it in the entertainment industry, you need to dress inappropriate and do things that may not be ethical.

This is the same at many dance competitions that allow young kids to dress maturely, use music that is not age appropriate and costumes that look more like burlesque dancers rather than studio kids.

I think that it's important that as dance educators, we teach our dancers and kids on having choices and learning to stay true to themselves. This of course also starts at home with parents and family but I think this is something that we as a whole, as a community need to just be aware of.

Same with advertising. I think it's time for change and that ethical advertising becomes law. Aren't you tired so many times of seeing ads especially those with women that are inappropriate and don't make sense on what they are selling or trying to promote? I am tired of this and I think that it's time that we do something about this.

At all our programs, we teach dancers not only about dance and the industry, but also about ethics in the industry, having choices, knowing that shaking your bootie in a music video won't take your career to that next level and that most of these girls in videos are models and not dancers. Working dancers do a lot more than shake their bootie for the camara.

Image is Everything! The Hollywood Make Over

Finally, the info is now online. We are excited to have this new ADD ON to this years Summer in L.A. experience.
