RIPPLEFFECT is a powerful experience for evolving Choreographers and Dancers. Our Summer Academies & winter intensives offer the community an open environment dedicated to growth through feedback, application and practice. By challenging your comfort zone, expanding your movement vocabulary, and refining your intentionality through movement, growth in self and craft is inevitable.

There are also opportunities to apply as a Dancer. This role includes training and performance opportunities including access to all classes with the mentors and an audition + rehearsals for the apprentice’s works which will be performed at the final Showcase.
