A long-lasting tradition at The Gold School is to offer one of the most comprehensive intensive after school dance programs in the country. Our intensive division is designed to inspire, motivate and challenge the serious dancer with a specialized faculty of industry professionals. 

Students are unique in their maturity; dancers demonstrate a respect for their art, their teachers and each other.  By promoting excellence, passion and risk taking, this unique program provides a solid foundation for any young person, whether their future includes a career as a dance artist or not. Our program is currently nourishing the souls of nearly one hundred young artists from all over Massachusetts, Rhode Island and beyond.

Through auditions and/or class evaluations, the faculty provides a personal education agenda for each young artist selected for the MOVES Program.

With robust technical training, dancers will study ballet, modern, jazz, tap, partnering, pointe, Pilates and hip hop. Students will also participate in master classes and reparatory sessions with leading guest artists.

"I do not try to dance better than anyone else,  I only try to dance better than myself."

--Mikhail Baryshnikov

Primary Intensive ages 7-10*

Designed with a youthful spirit in mind this program is the cross roads between the Classics division and the MOVES program.  Young dancers that demonstrate a natural sense of rhythm, grace, technical abilities and potential are placed in this program to train in a more professional classroom setting.  In a caring, yet structured environment the main focus is ballet basics as well as proper training in Jazz and Tap.  Students study 2X a week, 2hrs. each day

Jr. Intensive ages 10-13*

Dancers that excel technically with the passion, dedication and desire to peruse serious dance training are selected through auditions and class evaluations.  Intensive ballet and modern (Horton and Limon technique) along with jazz and tap classes provide an unparalleled foundation for these young dance artists. Students study 3-4 days weekly, 1-3 hrs. each day.

Sr. Intensive ages 13 & over*

Students considering dance at the college and professional level are immersed in the technical and performance training required by today’s leading universities, choreographers and companies. Students in this program develop the versatility to perform a range of work and learn the practices and principles needed for success as a dance artist.  Students study 3-6 days, 8-12 hrs. weekly
