Dance India Application Pack

Dance India is unique as the only residential international summer school for Indian dance in the UK. More than this though, Dance India is a movement that supports the learning, development, and performance of Indian dance in the UK and the West. For one intensive week, participants completely immerse themselves within the world of Indian dance, receiving unprecedented access to a wide range of activities, learning experiences, training opportunities and performances. This holistic training leaves students with a trans-formative experience which informs and enhances their future dance practice. Each Dance India strives to provide a more diverse and exciting experience than the last. This year we continue this vision by streamlining and developing key strands in the training programme. The school takes place once again in the beautiful setting of Liverpool Hope University’s Creative Campus. With students living and learning on campus, in beautiful gardens and a state of the art performance theatre, the Dance India experience will be greater than ever. One of the most significant benefits of Dance India is the teaching faculty. The experience of learning from and interacting with legendary gurus and some of the finest teachers and performers of our time is unique. The tutors are all assisted by musicians who complement their teaching by providing live rhythm accompaniment. A programme of evening performances by the tutors reinforces the learning process and offers an inspiring ideal for budding dances to aspire to. The atmosphere at Dance India is friendly, caring and sensitive to the needs of all students. A nurturing yet structured learning programme allows students to develop through the intensive week, whilst a range of complementary activities encourage healthy dance practice. The programme is suitable for young people above the age of 16 and adults of all ages. In some cases students from the age of 12 may be admitted subject to conditions. We look forward to welcoming new friends, and old ones from around the world to this exciting, ultimate week of dance, where we’ll create memories that will last a life time!
