The Program
The Summer Intensive Program has been designed to offer students ages 9 and up the opportunity to pursue their dance education and training on a daily basis for two weeks. Students will receive a daily ballet class along with additional classes in Modern, Jazz, Theater Dance, Character, African Dance, Injury Prevention or Dance History. Additional classes for those who qualify include Pointe, Variations, Men's Class and Pas de Deux. All levels meet Monday through Saturday receiving a minimum of three classes per day. Emphasized at all levels is the process of learning and developing skills both artistically and technically. In addition to the faculty listed in this brochure, Guest Artists will be brought in throughout the two week period.

Please note that our Two-Week Intensive has been designed as a two week program. For the convenience of those who are unable to attend two weeks, the option to attend one week is made available. Students who choose to attend one week only may or may not receive all of the classes listed above.
