PRO-gram
3-day intensive workshop
PRO-gram
PRO-gram is a 3-day intensive workshop that focuses on giving dancers a brief overview of the professional dance industry through an introspective lens. PRO in PRO-gram stands for “professional”.
The reason for creating this program is based on my experience and my own journey in this industry as a professional dancer, where more times than not, I was hired or re-hired because of my attitude and behavior in a professional setting.
Testimonials
“Challenging and inspiring experience worth every minute! Reminded me to believe in myself more.”
“To participate in Pro-Gram was a wise choice and a great investment in myself as a dancer. Maja always creates a pleasant environment for us to cope with many challenges she throws on us.”
“During Pro-Gram, I have learned a lot about my relationship towards dance, what it means to be professional and how some small details and decisions can influence the result. What I liked the most is that we had the opportunity to experience how to manage various situations during a live performance or an audition and how to react to them even when everything doesn’t go as planned.”
“Pro-Gram was everything I expected it to be, and more! In three days, I got to challenge myself with performing on camera, picking up choreography fast and then adjusting to changes, and even having a mock audition! The whole experience left me feeling inspired and striving to become a better dancer.”
“Pro-Gram was kind of a milestone for me. It happened in the perfect moment, when I was in the place of questioning my love for dance. It was either I’m all in or I’m out. Thanks to Pro-Gram, I didn’t quit. It awakened in me some kind of rebellious strength and love to keep pushing forward.”
“Pro-Gram was literally a life-changing experience! My whole view on dance and the dance industry shifted to better after being a part of it!”
“Throughout Pro-Gram I have learned things that not only helped me to be a better dancer, but a better person as well. Overall it was a great and exciting experience.”
