"Launch" High School Division

We invite high school students to be part of Nickerson-Rossi’s “Launch” dance education series during the International Dance Festival. In the high school division, students will train with college professors, directors, and adjuncts from reputable college programs in a 4.5 hour workshop at Nickerson-Rossi’s Dance House. Experience what it’s like to work as a college student! Dance classes during this workshop can include ballet, modern, and contemporary! This isn’t just an opportunity to expand on your artistry or technical training, but should also be used as a resource to promote yourself in the academic world of dance.
