About The Classical Intensive

The Classical Intensive was created in 2019 as a way for dancer’s attending summer intensives away from home to prepare before their classes began. The Classical Intensive offers careful instruction with a specific focus on classical line and development of artistry and prepares dancers for greater success upon attending their additional intensive. Since its beginning, The Classical Intensive has welcomed dancers from all backgrounds, training, and studios to join us each June in focused, technical work to push a dancer’s improvement and ability for the upcoming season. We provide a positive learning environment, allowing dancers to develop a more solid foundation to help them achieve their individual goals.

YOUNG DANCER INTENSIVE
June 22-26

Specifically geared for the developing dancer, we invite students ages 7 and up to join us for a week of learning the building blocks of ballet from the Vaganova syllabus.

Unlock the fundamentals of classical ballet with exercises designed for beginner and intermediate students focusing on developing essential elements of ballet technique: finding and strengthening rotation, lengthening through the knees, and opening the hips safely and effectively.

Whether you’re preparing for competition, strengthening your technique, or dancing for the love of it, our workshop is the perfect summer experience to strengthen your technical foundation and prepare for more rigorous classwork.

Limited spaces available – early registration recommended!
