The Program
We are excited to join our annual workshop together! We have an outstanding workshop planned with guest clinicians from across the country and Levine faculty leading master classes and enrichment sessions. Students will be assigned to small groups, which will rotate through the workshop every hour. Students ages 3 – 6 will be assigned classes from 9 AM to 12 PM on Saturday, January 24. Students ages 7 – 10 will be assigned classes between 1 – 5 PM. However, please keep the whole day, January 24, in your calendar until schedules are sent out by the second week of January. Students ages 11 and up will attend the Sunday sessions between 12 – 5 PM. If two students from the same family register for the workshop, please submit a registration form for each participating student.
General Information
A detailed schedule will be sent to participants by the second week of January. Students will be assigned to one master class and up to 2 to 3 enrichment sessions, depending on their age. There is a wide variety of enrichment activities, and students may not receive the same assignments each year. Parents of students in the Saturday workshop must accompany their child. We look forward to hosting our guest clinicians and highlighting our Levine faculty teaching for our annual Winter Workshop.
