Program Overview

Summer Dance Residency: London is offered in collaboration with Trinity Laban. Students will attend daily training at Laban and participate in either a Dance Repertory Project or Commissioned Work as part of the program. These performances have full production values. All pieces in the components for this project are fully costumed with bespoke individual fittings for each dancer and the theatre is the second largest space designed especially for dance in London. The performances are public including invited VIPs.

Please note: this program is for Tisch Dance majors only. Non-majors or dancers from other universities may also apply to the Summer Dance Residency in New York City.
