Fort Worth Summer Choreography Project

July 28- August 1, 2025

We invite DFW dancers (rising grades 8-12 and incoming first-year college students) to participate in the first annual Fort Worth Summer Choreography Project! Spend the week dancing and creating new choreography with your peers. Interested students can apply to be a student choreographer* and receive approximately 18 hours of rehearsal time to create a dance for participating students. Each day, choreographers and dancers will show what they have prepared to staff and fellow dancers and choreographers for feedback and workshopping. On the final day, guest adjudicators will view students’ final works or work in progress and provide feedback for choreographic and performance growth

*All choreographer applicants will receive a $25 discount on the program fee. Students chosen to choreograph for the week will receive a full tuition scholarship to the program. Applications are due March 21st. Applications will be reviewed by program staff and all applicants will be notified of application results no later than March 28th, 2025. Students not interested in choreographing can enroll in the project without filling out an application.
