ABOUT TRAIN AND CREATE
Bates Dance Festival’s 12th annual winter intensive in New York City is in partnership with Movement Research! Offering inspired dance training and creative exchange, this three-day intensive is designed for intermediate and advanced dancers.
Train and Create takes place Friday, January 9 through Sunday, January 11, 2026 in the studio spaces in 122 Cultural Center. The five teachers offer a taste of BDF’s Professional Training Program and the experience of both rigorous dance training and making each day. Morning classes will be postmodern technical training on all three days with Jenn Nugent and Kyle Marshall and in the afternoon one-day workshops with André Zachery, David Dorfman, and Cara Hagan will be unique to each instructor’s creative processes.
Please note that due to limited capacities there will be no drop-in classes this year.
