Early Arrival Program

This pre-semester program, featuring dance classes in ballet, pointe, modern, jazz, tap, aerial, and capoeira, brings together the dance enthusiasts as well as the pre-professional community at Goucher College.  This year’s intensive training program for all students interested in dance, beginning through advanced levels, will be held Thursday, August 20 – Saturday, August 29, 2009.  Highlighting the week is the Guest-Artist in Residence who will teach master classes as well as set a ballet on Goucher students to be performed in the Fall 2009 Concert.

The Early Arrival Program provides a venue for new students to meet current students, work with faculty, move into the residence halls, and get adjusted to the college campus prior to the official start of the semester.  Students arrive and check-in on Thursday in the early afternoon and have a chance to unpack before dinner with other dancers, faculty, and our guest artist.  Classes begin Friday, August 21 and run through Saturday, August 29.  First year students will join their class for all events scheduled for the Class of 2013.

Program Fees

The cost of the program is $300.00 and covers all classes, workshops, as well as room and board.

Students are strongly encouraged to complete and submit all forms by June 1.  Housing placement with other students attending early arrival programs will be considered so that students can be located in similar residence halls and on similar floors.  After this date, it is not possible for this type of accommodation to be made as all students will have been assigned rooms for the year.  We encourage you to submit early if you know you are coming early to campus.
