Summer Intensive 2015

Ballet des Amériques is pleased to announce its 2015 Summer Intensive program. Summer intensives have a long tradition in the world of dance - bridging the gap between the spring and fall semesters - but also fulfilling a complementary role with respect to the regular school curriculum: Largely free from academic obligations, students are able to concentrate on dance and make leaps of progress in training, iron out weaknesses, and consolidate what was achieved during the academic year. Quite importantly, the warmth of the summer months makes for greatly increased flexibility, which, when intensely exercised, can propel students to a higher level. Please consult the schedule below. Summer Intensive - 4-week program - August 3 - 28 Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM Classes and workshops in: ballet, pre-pointe, pointe, répertoire, barre au sol, modern, modern jazz, music and voice, ballet terminology (French), dance history, acting, arts and crafts, folkloric dance, stage makeup. Participation in our summer program is by audition only. Auditions will be held on February 19 and 21, 2015. Please call [hidden] or e-mail [hidden] to register.
