Every Day
Generally speaking, your dancing day at TIPDI will consist of two 90-minute classes in your "primary" dance, plus three more 90-minute classes that rotate you among all the other dance forms! (See Schedule details below.) Every night, we'll all head out into NYC for social dancing. You will become amazing in a single 3-day weekend!

A Sample Daily Schedule
TIPDI is meant to function like a present-day dance conservatory, and there is a pre-planned curriculum with which all of the instructors are familiar. Each person will receive an individual, personalized schedule upon arrival. You will be working on related skills and movement patterns, across multiple dance styles, all day long. Each class will build on earlier classes to the fullest extent possible. You will learn all 6 dance forms! Your personalized daily schedule might look something like these random examples. (Color names represent groups/levels. Red is "accelerated beginner for experienced dancers." Blue and Green are for experienced dancers in that dance.)

All classes are 90 minutes long. If you need a break, take one! We recommend staying in the studio and watching, because later classes build on the earlier ones.
* Concept Lab is your chance to break out of old patterns and ruts. Instructors give you a dance “problem” to solve, and using everything you learned that day, you put it all together and create your own brilliant solutions, working in teams or pairs. The teachers are there to answer questions, help you out when your brain gets stuck, and provide feedback about what’s working and what is not. This is your chance to experiment and trip all over each other.
