Summer Intensive
We host a two-week summer intensive in June of each year. During our two weeks, Ballet Arts hires professional dancers and instructors from around the world. Dancers will be trained in many dance forms with an emphasis on ballet technique. Dancers will be encouraged to grow their artistry in a nurturing environment. All dancers that attend the second week will get the opportunity to perform a final showcase at the Ned.
Summer Intensive is open to company members and non-members ages 9-18. Registration for summer 2025 will be available in January.

We get it! Summer Intensives can be very expensive… some in the thousands of dollars. Each year, the company has fundraising efforts to try and offset the cost to keep intensive affordable for a dancers. Our normal price is $450 per week, which is a bargain to study dance under some world-class instructors without having to travel to a big city.
We typically run an early bird special so stay tuned for details.
