about the sfd+I performance cohorts
The Seattle Festival of Dance and Improvisation (SFD+I) PERFORMANCE COHORTS are comprehensive summer dance experiences for dancers of all ages and levels from beginning through professional. The dancers have immersed themselves in three weeks of daily dance and movement training to build dance skills– connecting to their bodies, interestes, and communities. They are now bringing those skills into a performance setting in order to share their knowledge, all led by three incredibly gifted local choreographers.
