2022 Dunham Technique Intensive

Wednesday, July 28 - sunday, august 1

The Dunham Technique Intensive (virtual for 2021) is a five-day public Dunham Technique immersion experience, including pure Dunham movement and fusions with a foundation in Dunham Technique. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday there will be four classes each day, scheduled to accommodate a wide range of time zones. On both Saturday and Sunday, there will be three classes, spaced closer together, so that dancers who want a deep dive can take three classes in a row. Offerings will include Dunham Technique classes and Dunham based classes, reflecting a broad variety of styles and musical influences such as Jazz, Haitian, Cuban, West African, Egyptian Folkloric, Sri Lankan and more.

Please note that registration closes at 12AM PST on the date of each class. If you are interested in joining class and missed the registration deadline, please contact Jan Blunt. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to participate, but we will attempt to accommodate you.

If you have any trouble registering online, contact Ziiomi Law at zii@purposeproductions.org.

IDTC financial philosophy

The Institute for Dunham Technique Certification is dedicated to the legacy of Katherine Dunham and to the dissemination of the Dunham Technique. This is our purpose and our lifeblood. In alignment with Ms. Dunham's philosophies, it is also part of our mission to keep the prices of our classes and our certification process as accessible as possible while still maintaining the integrity of our organization. We are primarily a volunteer organization; this volunteerism arises from our passion for this legacy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we began offering online classes on a sliding scale so that every dancing body could have a safe haven. Although the intensive is a set price per class, we continue to offer donation-based classes throughout the year with the trust that those who are able to contribute extra will do so. At this time on the planet, our intertwined destinies are undeniable. For the long term sustainability and viability of the Dunham Legacy, we need the financial support of those who are able to offer it. We encourage you to give generously if you can. Not a penny goes wasted.
