2026 Summer Ballet Intensives

Summer Intensives offer dancers a unique opportunity to deepen their training and fully immerse themselves in their craft. These programs allow dancers to focus on strengthening areas that need extra attention while learning from a variety of experienced instructors.

Because intensives meet daily and can be taken over multiple weeks, dancers benefit from a consistent schedule that builds muscle memory and supports deeper exploration of technique. Repetition and continuity help refine skills, improve stamina, and internalize choreography more effectively. The focused environment also fosters camaraderie, motivation, and creative growth.

Each morning begins with conditioning and strength training, where dancers learn exercises they can add to their personal toolkit and continue using outside of class. The remainder of the morning is dedicated to an extended ballet class, allowing for in-depth technical development and artistic refinement.

We have multiple sessions to choose from and registration opens Feb. 23rd.  Online enrollment available through Jackrabbit. There will be a short performance for friends and family on the Friday afternoon of each session.  Dancers in the half day program are invited to return and participate in those performances.

Ages 8- adult.  All dancers 10 years and younger need permission to enroll in the full day option.
