Convention
Convention is the heart of the Intrigue experience — an inclusive, explorative environment where dancers are free to take risks, try new styles, and grow as artists. Over one weekend, dancers take 10 classes across Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Ballet, Tap, Musical Theatre, Lyrical, and Ballroom, with offerings tailored to each event. Every convention culminates in a live show where dancers perform alongside our creators, and select cities feature opportunities to dance in front of top talent agents. Over $50,000 in scholarships distributed per event.
