Danceworks is proud to invite dancers to join us for this unique Summer Intensive with Marianela Nuñez OBE, available both in-studio at Danceworks and live-streamed online.
There will not be an audition process, and there is nothing comparable to this Intensive on offer, so early booking is recommended as in-studio numbers will be limited.
There will be a progression including repertoire each day and classes will focus on superb technique and artistry.
Online links will be emailed 30 minutes before the class starts.
