About
The summer program is an intensely charged arena for the development and maturation of young, aspiring dancers. Classical ballet and contemporary dance classes are supplemented with jazz, tap, character dance, and modern. To help prevent injury and improve muscular strength, Conditioning classes are regularly held. To understand the demands of repertory pieces, students will learn the principles of Composition and Choreography, encouraging them to create their own pieces. Furthermore, Theatre and French classes round out the intensive program. It is a complete, consolidated, and comprehensive dance-training package.
