Summer Intensive Curriculum

Beyond great classes, learn about the divine inspiration
that motivates the dancer.”

CLASSICAL BALLET (all levels - daily)
Based on a combination of Vaganaova, R.A.D. and Cecchetti techniques. The classes will include teaching in body alignment, basic technique and body position, and the foundation upon which larger and more complex movements are based. Dance steps with petite allegro, adagio and in-depth center combinations to enhance the students’ ability to progress in their artistry. The relationship between music and movement, as expressed on stage as a divine artist, will be studied.

POINTE CLASS

LYRICAL/CONCERT JAZZ
Basic body warm-ups focusing on strengthening arms, stomach muscles and legs. Across the floor isolations, rhythm exercises, and basic floor combinations, walks, runs, leaps and falls. This class is based upon a balanced program of lyrical, show and contemporary, emphasizing the importance of ballet training.

JOY IN THE JOURNEY - DISCOVERING THE ART OF JOURNALING
