Flight Path Dance Project

Flight Path Dance Project is a tuition-free repertory training and career preparation program for NYC dancers age 14-20, founded in 2019 under the Artistic Directorship of Michael McGowan. Flight Path dancers practice traditional and contemporary techniques and perform diverse repertory from guest choreographers. Beyond the studio, they engage in professional development workshops and experiences (business skills, injury prevention and management, meditation and wellness, professional interfacing, and performance outings), as well as an arts literacy initiative, providing a new book each month (artist biographies, science and anatomy texts, poetry, critical nonfiction, and more), all in an effort to prepare our dancers for the whole of a career in the performing arts. Flight Path alums have gone on to dance professionally and study dance at institutions across the country and the world. This is Flight Path’s sixth season.
