The Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts in Winona hosts the 2025 Summer Dance Intensive for intermediate and advanced dancers, ages 11-24. In addition to daily classes in ballet and pointe technique, students have the opportunity to study modern, contemporary, rhythm tap, hip hop, musical theatre dance, European character dance, and dance composition. The schedule is rounded out with theory classes in injury prevention, somatic practices, and repertory rehearsals for the final showcase performance. Dancers also have the opportunity to explore some of the wonderful activities the area provides, like the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, Lark Toys, and the Mall of America.
