Moving Ground Intensive
Is in partnership with Grounded WPB
MGI +CL 2025 hosted at Ballet Florida
The Moving Ground Intensive is a summer program designed to cultivate the next generation of dancers and choreographers through rigorous training, creative exploration, and mentorship. A collaboration between Natural Movers Foundation and GroundedWPB, this hybrid dance and choreographic experience provides pre-professional dancers and emerging choreographers with a dynamic space to train, create, and develop their artistry. Dancers will engage in daily masterclasses and intensive rehearsals, while emerging choreographers will receive mentorship and have the opportunity to develop and present original work, supported by professional rehearsal and performance resources. The week culminates in a final in-studio performance showcasing the newly developed works & an artist talkback.
The Choreography Lab is a unique opportunity for dancers to develop their adaptability, performance quality, and artistic interpretation by learning and embodying new works in a short period of time. Working with emerging choreographers challenges dancers to quickly absorb movement, understand diverse choreographic styles, and refine their ability to bring artistic intention to new material—an essential skill for any professional performer. For emerging choreographers, this program serves as a platform to create, experiment, and refine their choreographic voice while receiving mentorship from established artists. Selected choreographers will have access to dedicated rehearsal time, professional documentation, and a cast of pre-professional dancers to bring their artistic vision to life.
Registration is open.
