Applications open November 1st for our 2027 Summer Programs: the Young Dancers Two-Week Intensive, June 14–26, and the five-week Summer Intensive Festival, June 28–July 31.
Young Dancers Two-Week Intensive
Focused Summer Training
Designed for young dancers ready to deepen their training in a supportive and focused environment, this two-week intensive combines classical ballet technique, conditioning, yoga, theory, repertoire, and age-appropriate whole-dancer development. Students will be placed into groups based on age, experience, and readiness so that training can be adapted to meet them where they are and help them grow.
Summer Intensive Festival
Training Through Performance
A five-week immersive summer experience for serious dancers ages 11–20, combining comprehensive daily training in classical technique, pointe, conditioning, yoga, theory, and repertoire with guest artist residencies, original choreography, and extensive rehearsal and performance experience. Dancers will perform throughout the festival at Lucymont before culminating in a final repertory performance at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in New Castle.
