Summer Dance Intensive




The Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival is offering a week of full-day dance experience for young dancers ages 13-16 with Dancetheatre David Earle.

Internationally recognized for the development of a unique language in dance, David Earle has devoted his life to this art form, believing in its integrity as a form of communication. Creating strong, individual, highly evolved instruments is the goal of his teaching.

A collaborator of 30 years, Suzette Sherman will share her hard won wisdom in both technique and composition, and members of the DtDE company will assist in making this a challenging and highly rewarding sharing of dance.
