The Winter and Summer Intensives are specifically designed for students who are unable to attend the Martha Graham School year-round or who wish to progress rapidly in the Martha Graham Technique. The courses (three weeks in winter, six weeks in summer) offer dancers a rigorous program in Martha Graham Technique, Martha Graham Graham Repertory, and Dance Composition. The courses conclude with Studio Showings by Intensive Students.

Students may enroll for the entire program or for individual weeks, depending upon class requirements.

"An original way of communication... which constitutes the most beautiful sustained movements by a living composer"

— Agnes deMille on the Martha Graham Technique
