HOT SHOP is a ADV/PRO workshop series designed to aid individuals in reconnecting to their artistic voice and the joy of movement, through the exploration of Hot Crowd’s diverse repertoire and improvisation. 

 

This 3-hour workshop iteration is inspired by our Season 7’s research of innate human traits. S.8’s HOT SHOPS will continue to explore the  raw human experience while introducing our S.8 theme of connection, hardship and self expression.

 

Dancers can look forward to company class, improvisational exploration, and company repertoire. Each and every HOT SHOP is carefully constructed for a different experience. Come meet the Directors and Assistant Rehearsal Director while connecting with the community through, class, research , discussion and movement.

“Spending the week learning from Hot Crowd was such a special experience. Exploring deeper into the world of partner work and finding more expression in my dancing are skills I will use my whole life. Devon, Brittany, Kyra, and Lindsey were all so kind, thorough, and intelligent in their teaching. I felt so free dancing their movement style. Thank you, Hot Crowd, for this beautiful learning opportunity!”
