SPRINGBOARD DANSE | PARTNERSHIPS
Springboard Danse partners with outstanding organizations across dance, media, and medicine to host our international summer project, performances, workshops, and intensives, that bring together a dynamic and inclusive community of artists and innovators.
Amplified Productions, Adrenaline Dance
We feel humbled to embark upon a second year of collaboration with Amplified Productions, the catalyst for SpringboardX workshops in Los Angeles and Springboard Danse | Pittsburgh auditions on the West Coast. We continue to be in awe of the wildly capable and visionary Amplified Production team members and are incredibly thankful for their time, care, expertise, and support.
Mission
Adrenaline Dance has always been about community. What started as a handful of friends and a few small events has grown into a team of 130+ hosting more than 50,000 guests annually. We pride ourselves on an unparalleled environment that welcomes dancers, educators, and their families!
We are proud to be the industry’s first YPAD Certified Dance Convention dating back to 2020. In addition, we work closely with other organizations focused on social accountability, including the Dance Education Equity Association. Our unique partnerships have strengthened our foundation and offered countless young dancers a safe, equitable, and inclusive environment to explore, challenge, and expand their potential as artists and athletes.
Point Park University, School of Dance
It is an unparalleled privilege to revive Springboard Danse at the stunning Point Park University dance studios and theater spaces in Pittsburgh, PA. With the gracious partnership of the School of Dance, this massive transition to the United States has been made feasible for our organization. We are abundantly grateful to have the opportunity to continue to serve our community–to facilitate career development for artists–while rooting ourselves within the Pittsburgh community.
Mission
Integrating tradition, innovation, and artistry to move beyond labels, Point Park University’s School of Dance attracts highly skilled and motivated dancers who are willing to engage with the world around them and advance the dance field.
Our diverse and tight-knit community welcomes students into a rigorous program that embraces creativity, diverse perspectives, versatility, and technical mastery in a sustainable and stimulating environment.
Together, through courageous conversations, performance opportunities, and quality scholarship, we cultivate an experiential learning ecosystem where dance students can maximize their talents and thrive in the rapidly changing dance industry.
We achieve our goals through a balance of responsibility and imagination; discipline and risk taking; rigor and contemplation; self-evaluation and self-promotion; and challenge as well as support.
Our nationally recognized program provides students with professional dance training coupled with numerous performance opportunities, including choreography by established and emerging guest artists and masterworks from the dance canon. Point Park is a place where dance students can integrate their dance studies with their other academic pursuits.
UPMC SPORTS MEDICINE

It is an enormous gift to be able to offer our dancers the exceptional care provided by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). UPMC’s generous support is invaluable and will be an integral part of our programming.
