TMP Summer Intensive

The Movement Project’s annual pre-professional Summer Intensive is a one-week program for dancers ages 12–18 who are serious about deepening their technical, creative, and performance practice. Participants engage in a rigorous daily schedule of professional training, creative exploration, and rehearsals led by TMP’s artistic directors, company members, and distinguished guest artists. The program includes modern and contemporary technique, ballet, improvisation, composition, House, injury prevention, and somatic practices, alongside career-focused courses such as résumé building, dance on film, and marketing. As part of the program, each artist receives professional dance action photos for their portfolio.

TMP’s 2026 Summer Intensive will be held at The University of Akron and will culminate in a performance alongside The Movement Project in our annual SummerWorks concert, presented on the final day of the intensive at Sandefur Theatre.
