AUDITIONS: (Tentatively) April 5th

Train with our highly qualified faculty plus special guest teachers at our Summer Ballet Intensive.

Dancers of all levels from Pearland, Houston, and the surrounding areas are invited to participate. The focus will be on classical ballet, contemporary dance, improvisation, and body conditioning. Additional classes will cover nutrition and injury prevention.

In Week 1 and Week 2, dancers will learn variations and corps de ballet repertoire from different classical ballets. Specifically, in Week 2, the variations and corps de ballet repertoire will come from The Nutcracker.

Previous summer Intensive Teachers include Dawn Scannell, Allison Miller, Laura Hilley, Aimee Kilgore, Adrian Masvidal, Michelle Coomer, Bill Patterson, and more!
