Summer/ Winter/ Spring School

The winter school is for selected dedicated students of the Training and Outreach program. The Intensive Training Program enables the aspiring dancers to receive additional intensive technical training in the dance field.  The winter and summer schools are annual events and provide intensive training and activities to develop skills and knowledge in the arts for the selected students.

iKapa Dance Training and Outreach serves as a training ground for the Intensive training programs. Dedicated students are selected and enrolled in the additional classes. Students are transported from their community to the head outreach centre or Company Studio. Company members and guest teachers facilitate these classes and a life coach provides development workshops for the students.

The school involves all iKapa employees and volunteers, who are able to assist with coordination and offer workshops in additional skills development.

The aim is to nurture the talent of future dancers and it provides the selected students of the Training and Outreach School a chance to work on their technique and dance vocabulary.
