ONE WEEK OF PROGRESSION
The Marseille intensive is one connected week of focused training.
The daily framework remains consistent so dancers can work with concentration and build reliable professional habits. Artistic material, repertoire, faculty input and choreographic tasks develop progressively throughout the seven-day course, allowing corrections and ideas to carry forward from one day to the next rather than functioning as a series of unrelated masterclasses.
