Summer Dance Intensive — 2007

Summer is the perfect time to fill your days with dance

Summer Ballet Camp offers four weeks of daily classes in ballet and choreography, allowing dancers ages 8-10 the opportunity to stay fit and improve their technique over the summer. The Summer Dance Intensive is an active, invigorating summer program which exposes participants to a variety of dance styles. Our main focus is on ballet, technique, pointe work, and variations; with additional classes in Contemporary Modern and Broadway Jazz, as well as Stretch and Strengthen.

Special guest instructors join the talented Stapleton faculty

Our supportive, creative environment is enhanced by the top quality instruction provided by our exceptional summer intensive teaching staff. Students benefit from the opportunity to work with experienced instructors that offer a diverse range of teaching styles. Collaboration is encouraged in a nurturing and non critical atmosphere.
