Our 5-week Summer Ballet Intensive launches on July 6, 2026. The program runs weekly, Monday through Thursday, and offers tailored training across various levels of ballet experience.

The intensive is open to students aged 7 and up. To ensure an optimal and supportive training environment, final level placements will be personally evaluated and determined by Miss Clara based on each dancer’s current technique and execution.

• CLASSICAL TECHNIQUE The foundation of the daily training, focusing on alignment, placement, and technical purity at the barre and in the center. Dancers will work on refining execution, control, and musicality.

• POINTE WORK Dedicated training to build the specific ankle strength, stability, and control required for classical dancing. Exercises focus on proper articulation of the feet, balance, and security en pointe.

• CLASSICAL VARIATIONS An immersive study of historic repertoire. Students will learn choreography from celebrated classical ballets, focusing on performance quality, stylistic nuances, and character artistry.

• FLOOR BARRE A specialized conditioning class performed on the floor to improve core stability, flexibility, and muscle memory. This targeted training helps dancers isolate muscle groups, improve turnout, and prevent injuries without the pressure of gravity.

To maintain a professional, focused training environement, all dancers are required to ahdere to the dress code and bring the necessary supplemental items for each class block.
