Creative Movement (0.0-0 years old): This program is designed to cultivate the joy for ballet in our youngest dancers while introducing them to the format of a dance class.

This program is a great way for beginner and intermediate dancers to learn and polish basic technique as well as explore new genres.  Intermediate Intensive (0-00 years old): This program is designed for serious intermediate young dancers. Students train nearly 00 hours per week. They will have Pilates and a two-hour ballet technique class each morning. In addition, they will be introduced to various other genres including contemporary and theater. Students will study ballet terminology and learn and rehearse choreography that will culminate in an in-studio performance at the end of the program. This program is an excellent opportunity for intermediate students to refine their technique and develop strength.  Intermediate/Advanced Intensive (00+ years old): This intensive is designed so intermediate and advanced dancers can really examine and perfect their ballet technique while they also explore their versatility as artists. The curriculum includes a daily Pilates mat class, two-hour ballet technique class, pointe, and specialty subject workshops (such as variations, partnering, contemporary, salsa, choreography, theater dance, and repertoire). Seminar topics have included: nutrition, anatomy, ballet terminology, stage make-up, and dance history. The program will culminate with an in-studio showing of a student-choreographed original piece on the last Friday.
