SUMMER dance OPTIONS

Summer is a great time for all dancers to focus on dance, free from the regular pressures of the school year. The amount of progress a student can make during this time is amazing, proven year after year. We strongly recommend all of our dancers attend at least 2 or 3 weeks of summer training. 

Students who attend at least one full week of Summer Intensive or a full month of weekly classes will be eligible for Priority Registration in the Fall.

SUMMER intensive

Crucial for focused students who wish to maintain and increase their level of technique.  Minimum of two weeks required for those dancers wishing to join California Dance Ensemble, our pre-professional performing company.

Intensive schedule is strongly based in ballet, but includes many other styles, including special options not normally offered during the school year, such as Pilates, Contemporary Partnering, Bollywood, Improv or Acting for Dancers.
