The Maine State School for the Performing Arts offers a complete year round classical ballet and pointe curriculum. Headed by former NYC Ballet dancer Linda MacArthur Miele, the school accomodates every level of student from beginner through advanced. The Summer Ballet Workshop is designed for the serious ballet student age 8 or older, with at least one full year of classical ballet training.
Emphasis is placed on strengthening technique, stamina and pointe work where appropriate.
The importance of daily classes cannot be stressed enough and students will have the opportunity to develop their talent in a professional yet relaxed atmosphere. It is invaluable to a young dancer and the Maine State School for the Performing Arts strongly recommends this program. Summer levels may be different from fall placement. Our main objective is to improve technique and strengthen every student. This is always accomplished.
