During the summer we offer three dance programs: Summer Dance Camp for grade school students aged 6-10, our traditional intensive summer course for Intermediate and Advanced students and our flexible summer course for 4-12 year olds and Adult/Teen students. Our intensive program includes daily ballet classes, introductory classes to other dance forms, workshops, and special guest teachers. The flexible summer course is available for those who wish to continue their studies through the summer, but do not wish to commit to daily classes. Schedules and registration forms for Summer 2012 are available at the school and on this Web page. |
