Development Weekend 2025
Join us Feb 14-17 for our annual Development Weekend! Open to dancers ages 8+, this weekend brings together a group of phenomenal faculty to provide the NS dance community with four days of intensive work focusing on dance technique, creation and exploration. Participants will have the opportunity to take classes in Ballet, Modern, Improv and Composition and Contemporary Floor Work. Each morning will begin with a clinic class to gently warm up the body and bring awareness and intention to the day ahead. Creation time is built into the schedule and the weekend will conclude with a demonstration for family and friends.
Development Weekend is also open to adult students, pre-professional students and professional movement artists on a full weekend registration or drop-in basis. For drop-in options, please visit our Adult Program & Drop In Classes page
