Our annual summer school Elevate forms part of
The Point's ongoing commitment to provide high quality training
opportunities for gifted and talented young dancers. The school
takes place over three weeks, with each week having a different
focus. Elevate Train features technique classes in contemporary and
number of different dance styles, while Elevate Integrate focuses
on integrated practise. Elevate Create gives participants the
opportunity to work with a number of professional choreographers to
learn about the way they work and also explore their own creative
ideas.
Elevate is aimed specifically at young dancers
aged 15 – 25 years old who are currently in, or aspiring to be in,
professional vocational dance training. It offers a taste of
professional training and the chance for students to keep in shape
during the summer holidays.
Elevate delivers one of the key areas of
Eastleigh Borough Council’s arts strategy to ‘nurture gifted and
talented young people and signpost professional pathways’. It also
responds to the DCMS aim to ‘create a talent pathways scheme to
support and inspire young people from all backgrounds to pursue
careers in the creative sectors.’
‘I have gained brilliant training from
the contemporary dance classes and I have received great feedback
on my technique.’
‘I’ve discovered different styles that
I want carry on with in future.’
‘I have a better understanding of a
range of choreographic techniques that I can apply in my own
practice.’
‘I’ve learnt rep from some of my
favourite pieces of work and have enjoyed working with other young
dancers.’
‘Thank you for letting me experience
Elevate’
‘Integrate has made me realise that
anyone can dance if they want to and it doesn’t matter of they have
a disability.’
‘Everyone has their own full
potential.’
