Dear Week Three Summer Intensive Dancers, Bravo for training in the art of unfolding your wings and jumping! You made us, and Ray Bradbury, proud.
Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall. -

Ever wonder what's the appeal of spending beautiful summer days in-studio focused on ballet technique? We asked several dancers to explain this choice, enjoy their answers:
Natalia: I love ballet. It's beautiful and fun and I have at great time training with my friends. I also like pushing myself and seeing the improvement." Of course, Natalia's paying for her rigorous summer dance schedule in blisters, which she dismisses as necessary. "I just hope when they heal they callous."
Grace Anne: I'm here for strengthening because this fall I'm in Standard Division. Also, I love ballet. It's fun and creative and a healthy, positive way for me to spend my time.
Evelyn (who just returned from a vigorous summer intensive program): I'm here because I love being at this studio and training with these teachers and don't want to miss out.

The FISH returned! Yesterday Miss Charlotte had dancers perform center with our beloved studio fish. "I'm seeing great improvement in finger placement, but still noticing some droopy wrists and elbows." Nothing builds arm awareness -- or generates smiles -- like dancing with fish!

During our Summer Intensive Pointe Class advanced dancers do barre and center drills that focus on alignment, turn-out and footwork in order to strengthen their foundational skills and endurance.

We ❤️ that our AUGUST INTENSIVE is in demand, and are adding classes to meet the need! With full and half day training options, this intensive will help ready you for your 26/27 dance year. Reserve your spot here:

Our August Intensive runs Aug 3 - 7 & is open to ballet dancers 11 - 18.

Our younger summer intensive dancers take Pre-Pointe Classes to build the critical ankle and foot strength pointe requires. Through barre work and drills they also hone their balance, alignment and core strength.
