Want to get a taste of what it's like to train at a big Summer Intensive (like the older dancers get to attend)? We've designed our intensives specifically for the elementary ballet student who just can't get enough of dance!
After a ballet class each day, students will also take classes in jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, etc. Students will also prepare for a special end-of-the-week presentation for Parents. These sessions are highly recommended for students auditioning for or in Greensboro Ballet's Youth Ballet.
It's Christmas in July at the School of Greensboro Ballet for one festive Intensive for Elementary level ballet students (July 15-20 session). Young dancers with an interest in auditioning for The Nutcracker this year, or sometime in the future, will find this an invaluable training time. Learn what to expect at the auditions, what rehearsals are like, and how the performance experience will be for a new participant. Students additional classes may also include hair, make-up, and/or pantomime
Cost: $225 for one Intensive, $425 for two Intensives, $610 for three Intensives
