Cutting Shapes Immersion Retreat

A FULL WEEKEND ADVANCED TRAINING EXPERIENCE Cutting Shapes isn’t just faster shuffle — it’s a different language of movement. It's lighter and bouncier, with more variation and faster transitions. The Cutting Shapes Immersion Retreat is a full-weekend, advanced training experience designed to give this street dance style the time, focus, and depth it deserves. This retreat is a true immersion — fast-paced, physically demanding, and deeply musical. Throughout the weekend, we’ll work on: - Light, bouncy, mostly non-traveling movement - Higher-tempo dancing without losing mechanics or control - Frequent changes (often every 1–2 counts) - Ball-of-the-foot pivoting and rebound mechanics - Simple, direct transitions and quick entries into movement - Combos and choreography designed to train muscle memory, so movement feels automatic, responsive, and free at higher tempos SMALL GROUP HIGH-TOUCH EXPERIENCE This retreat is intentionally capped at 8 dancers to ensure: - Individual attention within a group setting - Plenty of hands-on feedback - A focused, cohesive learning environment - Keeping the group small is what allows this level of depth without slowing the momentum. MANDATORY PREPARATION COURSE To protect the experience for everyone in the room, completion of the Cutting Shapes Prep Intensive is required to attend this retreat. The Prep Intensive builds the speed, stamina, mechanics, and learning agility needed so this weekend feels challenging, energizing, and fun — not overwhelming. THE RETREAT EXPERIENCE For dancers who want to be completely taken care of between sessions. - Dedicated workshop managers handling the details so you can stay immersed in the work - Chef-prepared meals, plus snacks and drinks available throughout the day - Thoughtful swag and retreat comforts - A hot tub for recovery after long training blocks - Additional guest instructor-led sessions, including energizing breathwork and fascia release - Time to reset in a scenic outdoor space with mountain views, minutes from Park City This immersion is best suited for dancers who: - Are comfortable freestyling at 90+ BPM - Can absorb and apply new material quickly in a live setting - Enjoy learning through repetition and experimentation - Want a focused, advanced container that moves at a strong pace If you love speed, bounce, rhythm, and the feeling of fully living inside the music, this retreat is designed for you.
