Want to host a Bluebird workshop?

Bluebird workshops are geared toward intermediate/advanced students ages 11+ and include classes in ballet, contemporary and choreography. Using a mentoring/coaching approach we encourage artists to communicate their story while pursuing excellence in technique.

When organizing a workshop, Bluebird seeks to partner with the host studio to create an experience that is profitable for everyone while fostering unity in the local dance community. Classes can be as simple as a two hour master class or as complex as a 3-5 day intensive or anywhere in between.

Workshops are tailored to your individual studio’s needs and can even be focused on a specific production.
Topics include:

Classical and/or contemporary technique
Audition skills
Acting for Dancers
Theatre etiquette and stage makeup
Picking up choreography/repertoire
Constructing a dance (fostering the next generation of choreographers)
Progressing Ballet Technique (we have a certified teacher)
Pilates for dancers (we have a certified teacher)
Connecting with God through dance
…or whatever other ideas you may have
