Join Attack Theatre for five days of dance and creative learning! Traction is a week-long intensive designed for pre-professional and professional dancers, teaching artists, educators, and dance enthusiasts.

Each morning begins with a rotating menu of movement including yoga, improvisation, jazz, ballet, and Bollywood fusion; followed by a dynamic class in modern dance taught by Attack Theatre’s Artistic Director Michele de la Reza and company members.

In the afternoon, participants can choose one of two tracks offering deeper experiences - whether as a performer, teaching artist, or educator. The Performance Track is led by Co-founders and Artistic Directors Peter Kope and Michele de la Reza with company members Isabella Bergamin, Ethan Gwynn, and Miranda Nichols. The Teaching Track is led by the Arts Education team.

Register for either intensive track or choose to drop into morning sessions and dance!

No audition is required for dancers and movers ages 18 and up. Students aged 13–17 may attend but must contact our Education Team (education@attacktheatre.com) prior to registration.
