Dance Uncut

Dance Uncut is a residential high school experience where you will spend 9 days at Liberty University honing your skills as a dance artist. This summer intensive offers you the chance to work with current Liberty Dance faculty and students in an encouraging and challenging environment. Focusing on comprehensive dance instruction, this program aims to challenge and expand the dancers understanding of this artform through training in multiple genres of dance. 

Engage in challenging masterclasses and breakout sessions, pushing your technical knowledge as you gain a strong understanding of what it means to be a Christian artist. You will work with choreographers throughout the intensive program, creating work to highlight your effort and artistry in our final performance cabaret. At Dance Uncut, you will collaborate with fellow artists from across the nation, develop long-lasting friendships, and refine the skills and talents that God has given you.
