“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

The Boulder Jazz Dance Youth Workshop is designed for emerging dance artists ages 7 and up with a multi-disciplinary, three day training schedule that includes educating the mind, body and soul. This is a condensed version of our full workshop so younger dancers can have a similar experience with a lower financial and time commitment. The workshop concludes with a performance of repertoire pieces that will be learned in class as well as an option to submit and perform existing work.

Additional Performance Opportunities

Do you have a piece from this past season that you would like to see on stage one last time? Do you have new choreography that needs to hit the stage before the season starts? We have a performance included in our youth workshop. Dancers will not only perform repertoire pieces that they will learn in the workshop, we are accepting 1-3 completed pieces (no solos or duets) to be included in our performance. To submit your dances, please email a video (it could be just in the studio) of your piece(s) to info@boulderjazzdance.com. We will notify you on which piece(s) are selected two weeks prior to the performance.
