Applications for the 2010 Bates Dance Festival are now online! 

The Professional Training Program runs from July 17th-August 8th, and offers a great line-up of classes taught by great artists and accompanied by amazing live musicians!  There are also fabulous performances throughout the 3-week program.

I've been to the festival twice already. It is so much fun to "go on vacation" to dance heaven.  Unlike other large summer dance festivals, Bates is a smaller program focused on collaboration and community without sacrificing high quality instruction.

There are also scholarships and internships available!!

Also, check out their youtube page for more videos!
