About this Event

OVERVIEW

The Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment is dedicated to preparing dancers to work as performers, teachers, choreographers, and arts managers in the vast world of dance and entertainment. Join us July 12-18, 2026 for an exciting training opportunity for high school students interested in exploring careers in the entertainment industry.

The OCU Dance - Summer Intensive is for high school students who will be rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors in fall 2026. For one week, students will experience firsthand what it is like to be a Dance and Entertainment major at the world-renowned Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment at Oklahoma City University. Dancers will partake in classes and rehearsals that focus on multiple dance techniques used in the entertainment industry, from Broadway to commercial dance.

All classes are taught by OCU's nationally recognized faculty and emphasize qualities that make dancers employable in the industry, including the importance of versatility in show business, injury prevention, dance health, and professional preparation for long and successful careers in dance and entertainment management - all in a safe and brave space for exploring a variety of dance genres.

At the conclusion of the intensive, parents and families are invited to join us for an in-house studio showcase at the Edith Kinney Gaylord Center on July 18, 2026.

There will be a special admission and scholarship audition for rising seniors on July 19, 2026. This exclusive audition will allow dancers to be considered for fall 2027 admission to the Ann Lacy School at the earliest opportunity.
