I'm Here!

Today is my first day of the Repertory Dance Theater Summer Intensive.  Repertory Dance Theater (RDT) is a major (read: holy moly they are good!) modern dance company that has been performing and touring since 1966.  For two weeks I'm in Utah dancing with RDT from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM with an hour lunch break in between.  Here's our schedule:

8:30-9:00 Stretch, Strength, and Core
9-10:30 Modern Dance Technique
10:45-12:00  Composition/Improvisation
12:00-1:00 Lunch
1:00-2:20 Performance/Coaching Lab
2:30-3:45 Contemporary Repertory (we get to learn the company's repertory!!)
3:45-4:15 Assessment time with RDT Mentor (on Fridays we'll have showings from 3:45-4:30)

I am excited to meet new dancers and learn an amazing amount of new things.  I am also excited to have weekends and evenings free to hike, take ballet classes, explore Salt Lake City and, or course, blog.  Here are a few images of the company I found on their website.


And I'm so sorry that I forgot Friday's Dancing Blogger series.  The week just went by so fast I forgot what day it was.  Stay tuned because this Friday's Dancing Blogger is a unique one.  You'll laugh when you see the photo but be inspired when you read this blogger's story.

Wonderful news; you must be thrilled to be dancing with the RDT. The schedule sounds intensive but that's a good thing. Only one hour for stretching daily? As a fellow ballerina I had to ask;-)

Lillian Chang said...

Wow, congratulations!!! It sounds like such a wonderful opportunity - plus, it's cool that you'll be able to travel around, explore, and still do the things you love (ie: dance and blog :)

Happenstance said...

Woo hoo! How cool. And by the way, you must be just a little bit good to be there too!:) Your schedule sounds like an amazing exercise routine. Man, I would love to do this but my only dancing skills are free style on a dance floor with drink in hand.
