TIPDI (The International Partner Dance Intensive) is a conservatory-style dance intensive for adults who love to move!
TIPDI features six dance forms - three partner dance forms and three solo dance forms. All participants take leveled classes in all six forms. Enrollment is limited to 120 dancers total to ensure small class sizes and personal attention. (Roughly 20 dancers with prior experience per style.)
There are no standalone “workshops” at TIPDI. Instead, the teaching staff works from a structured curriculum so that all participants are learning similar movement ideas across all forms. This structure ensures that we are able to accelerate improvement for every dancer that joins us!
Each class is progressive and builds on the next - just as if you were in a professional training program or conservatory. At the same time, the intensive is joyous, rigorous, inclusive, and non-competitive. We have "serious fun" - for an affordable fee, with a time-commitment that makes sense for adults with work and family responsibilities.
