NEWAVE Winter Intensive is a five-day program in New York City for dancers ages 18+ looking to expand their skills, explore new ways of working, and better understand the city’s contemporary and commercial dance landscape.

Rooted in the tools and practices of the concert dance world, NEWAVE helps dancers develop versatile skills they can apply across a range of working environments, including film, commercial dance, site-specific performance, devised work, and set choreography.

The program combines technique classes, mentorship chats, improvisation, and a daily creation lab that culminates in a professional filming session. Beyond the studio, NEWAVE offers insight and practical tools to help dancers navigate the NYC dance community, pursue professional opportunities, and build a sustainable practice in the city.
