3 days of dance, training and community by the sea

SUMMER INTENSIVE is a 3-day dance event where dancers from Belgium and abroad come together to train, create and inspire each other.

During these intensive days you will take workshops from (inter)national choreographers, explore new styles and share the floor with a community of dancers who share the same drive and passion.

Beyond the workshops, SUMMER INTENSIVE is also about the full experience: training together, challenging each other, meeting new people and being completely immersed in dance for three days.

WHY WE ORGANIZE THIS

SUMMER INTENSIVE started with a simple idea: creating a place where dancers can train together outside their own studio or city.

Dance is more than just taking classes. It is about growing, challenging yourself, finding inspiration and being part of a community.

With SUMMER INTENSIVE we want to give dancers the opportunity to:

• train with new choreographers

• explore different dance styles

• meet dancers from other cities and countries

• fully dive into their passion for three days

We believe dance brings people together and that the energy of a group of dancers helps everyone grow.

WHO ARE WE

SUMMER INTENSIVE is organised by URBAN BASE Dance Studio.

URBAN BASE is a dance organisation founded with the goal of creating a strong and safe foundation for dancers of all ages and levels. Today, URBAN BASE counts more than 700 dancers and a dedicated team of teachers who work every day to make dance accessible, high-quality and inspiring.

In addition to weekly dance classes, we organize workshops, productions, camps and events where dancers can further develop themselves and gain new experiences.

SUMMER INTENSIVE is an extension of that vision:
a place where training, creativity and community come together.

FOR WHO

SUMMER INTENSIVE is open to dancers aged 15 and up who want to deepen their training and get inspired by new teachers and dancers.

You don’t need to be a professional dancer — motivation, energy and passion for dance are what matter most.

ALL-IN EXPERIENCE
BY THE SEA

An important part of SUMMER INTENSIVE is its unique setting.

The event takes place in Ostend, where dance, beach and summer come together. Between workshops there is time to relax, meet new people and enjoy the atmosphere of the city and the sea.

That makes SUMMER INTENSIVE not just a training experience, but a complete summer dance experience.
