ABOUT TRAIN AND CREATE

Bates Dance Festival’s 11th annual winter intensive in New York City is in partnership with Movement Research! Offering inspired dance training and creative exchange, this three-day intensive is designed for intermediate and advanced dancers. 

Train and Create takes place Friday, January 10 through Sunday, January 12, 2025 in the newly finished studio spaces in 122 Cultural Center. The five teachers offer a taste of BDF’s Professional Training Program and the experience of both rigorous dance training and making each day. Morning classes are taught by Shayla-Vie Jenkins and Christina Robson on all three days and in the afternoon, Cynthia Oliver, Gerald Casel, and Kimani Fowlin‘s one-day workshops will be unique to their own creative processes. 

Please note that due to limited capacities there will be no drop-in classes this year.
