Dance intensive’s lead dancer/choreographer in the Hamptons, Jitka, shares some her ideas around our dance camp in Bridgehampton, NY.

1. How do you inspire your dance students, and what is your goal for Dance intensive this summer in Bridgehampton?

Dance is all about expressing yourself and having fun. Anyone can learn and become a better dancer; there are no wrong moves.

My goals would be for everyone to have fun, create a safe space for each dancer, express our feelings, learn new skills, practice choreography, and explore freestyle. At the end of the week, we will present our choreography, combining everything we've learned.

2. What is your approach for teaching students in the adult dance class you have later in the day?

Dance is a physical, mental, and spiritual activity that embodies freedom, for me. It's not just about movement; it's about discovering and connecting (or reconnecting) with our soul and body.

3. What excites you in terms of your own dance projects that are happening now or in the future?

I am currently teaching workshops (dance and yoga) in the USA and Europe, as well as performing and choreographing shows and music videos. Additionally, I have been honored to judge and participate in the Best Dance Group competition for 13 years, providing opportunities for dancers and choreographers to grow, educating them, and traveling the world.
