NCI hosts a three-week workshop with selected professional dancers, who have auditioned from various ballet companies throughout the United States.
The choreographers each produce a work in progress, which are then showcased at the Irvine Barclay Theatre.
The rehearsals and dancer accommodations are hosted by the Claire Trevor School of the Arts at the University of California, Irvine campus.
