New this year - turn your technique class into an intensive and save!
Turn your technique class into an intensive by adding on the pointe class, workshops, or both that are offered during the same week. This is a great way to delve deeper into topics we don't have time for during the regular dance season. In addition to a discounted price, intensives offer the benefit of less drive time to and from the studio for busy families.
All intensive options (and prices) are listed under the corresponding Technique class. To see workshop descriptions and individual workshop prices, please see the Workshop section below.
