For the students who are looking to grow in their dance technique and be challenged this summer, we invite you to sign up for one of our summer intensives! Each day will consist of a ballet section and training in other genres, as well. Students will work on technique in jazz, lyrical/contemporary, creating choreography, improvisation, and auditioning tips.
