In July, I attended the 3rd annual Generation IV dance intensive in Southampton, Massachusetts. It was my second year and is always one of my favorite events to attend!
The Faculty this year consisted of Teddy Forance, Nick Lazzarini, Kyle Robinson, Dha' Sean Serrano, Randi Kemper, Will Wingfield, Moe Borromeo, Chantel Aguirre, Noel Bajandas, Jeff Lapes, Alicia Monaco, Alexa Anderson, Devin Jamieson, Jenn Hackworth, Jennifer Pinard, Channing Cooke and Jamie Goodwin.
Each day, classes in four levels, mini, junior, teen/senior and advanced/pro were offered at the beautiful Smith College campus. Many dancers like myself stayed in the dorms adjacent to the dance facilities.
With friends Scott, Morgan, Jacqueline and Logan!
With Mia DiLina...a fellow Canadian! and with everyone's "Nana"...Teddy, Nick and Jacquelines' Grandma.
Check out some video highlights from the classes!
To showcase all the hard work over the course of the week-long intensive, there were two performances held at the Academy of Music in downtown Southampton. There were performances by students and faculty...it was an inspiring night of dance. The academy was bursting with talent!
Generation IV is always an intimate intensive. You work hard but Teddys' whole family and network of amazing family and friends make the week a rewarding experience. I highly recommend this workshop if you are looking for a new summer event. It gets bigger and better every year. Thank you so much to Nick Anthony, Alison Forance and Lisa Anthony for all that you do for the kids and faculty to make this such a great event.
The last day of the workshop involves a Question, Answer and Photograph session with the faculty. I was fortunate enough to pull Teddy, Kyle and Nick away for a quick interview regarding their new reality TV show, All the Right Moves, on Oxygen Network!
