Summer Information

The Academy of Ballet offers training for both the student preparing for a professional career and those who are studying ballet for its many other benefits. All classes are carefully graded both for age and technical level and each student is given the individual attention so necessary for his or her progress.

The summer course is a six-week period of intensive training for the pre-professional, advanced and intermediate student. Classes include daily technique in classical ballet as well as pointe, variations, pas de deux and men's technique.

The summer course will culminate in a studio performance giving the dancers an opportunity to perform repertoire learned during these six week of intensive study.

Level I (advanced) students will also learn both classical and contemporary repertoire while Level II (intermediate) students will have classes in performance skills, such as applying make-up for different classical and character roles, adding a performance quality to classroom technique and different movement styles used in various classical and contemporary ballets.

There is also a program designed to meet the special needs of the adult students. Emphasis here is on toning, strengthening , stretching and loosening the body using classical ballet to achieve these goals. Along with improving one's physique, the adult student becomes acquainted with and part of a great art form.
