Ballet Intensives New and returning dancers are welcome!
Our theme for Summer 2021 is "Back to Basics". After a year and a half of going back and forth between the classroom and online instruction, it's time to refocus and refine our technique. Classes will combine ability appropriate combinations with drills focusing on specific areas of technique that were harder to keep up through the restrictions of the past year. Dancers should follow the studio's dress code, but hair may be in a ponytail instead of a ballet bun for this class. Beginning Intensive, age 7-12 June 14-18, 2:00 - 3:00 pm, $60 Open to 2020-2021 Ballet 1 dancers, Ballet 1 Advanced dancers, and equivalent dancers from other studios Intermediate Intensive, age 11-18 June 14-18, 5:00 -6:00 pm, $60 Open to 2020-2021 Ballet 1-2 and Ballet 2 dancers (and equivalent dancers from other studios) Advanced Intensive, age 13 - adult June 14-18 (one week), 3:00 - 4:00 pm, $60 July 6 - 22 (Tuesdays and Thursdays), 5:00 - 6:00 pm, $70 Open to 2020-2021 Ballet 3 and Ballet 4 dancers (and equivalent dancers from other studios), as well as Intermediate and Advanced Adult Ballet dancers.
