Kyle Ponte Four-Hour Workshop
Sunday, October 25

11:00 AM–3:00 PM | $300
for dancers aged 9 and up

Kyle will be working on:

  • Foundational technique: Alignment, control, strength, flexibility, and body awareness through warm-up and across-the-floor work.
  • Industry/commercial choreography: Choreography suited to music videos and live performances, focusing on stage presence, confidence, and performance quality.
  • Contemporary: Fluidity, improvisation, musicality, and expression while developing each dancer’s individual movement style.
  • Mock audition: Learning and performing a combination, with feedback on presentation, professionalism, adaptability, and how to stand out.

Kyle choreographed five competition dances this year and plans to do even more in the future. Opportunities like this are so important for dancers because they allow them to be seen, build relationships, and gain valuable experience working with choreographers and industry professionals. This workshop will help dancers understand how to present themselves, increase flexibility, make an impression, and stand out in audition and performance settings.

Dancers must attend all four hours of Kyle’s workshop. Individual portions cannot be taken separately.

Please bring water and a snack, and come ready to work!
