Interested in both Performing Arts and Visual Arts? Study both in one weekend with this course! Through a mixture of lectures, workshops and interactive excursions, you'll learn about the history of the arts in the U.S. and the way arts and entertainment help create social change. You'll also attend a Latin dance class to learn moves from professionals and visit a local art museum.

Get to know your au pair classmates as you work collaboratively to create new artwork! You'll engage in class discussions where you can bring your own unique perspectives to the conversation and learn about the importance of creativity and the creative process.

We strongly encourage students to fly to Miami a day or two before the course begins or to stay a couple of days after the course in order to have time to explore on your own. Our course is scheduled with long days, so please plan free time for yourself before or after the course dates.
