Ballet Intensive Intermediate (4-Day Camp) With Pre-Pointe & Beginner Pointe

Experience the gift of growth and artistry in this comprehensive Ballet Intensive, designed for dedicated dancers. This intensive offers a blend of classical ballet training, pre-pointe and pointe, focusing on technique, artistry, and performance skills, and providing personalized attention to each student. This intensive not only enhances dance skills but also builds discipline, confidence, and a deeper appreciation for the art of ballet. 

Students are expected to be in ballet attire including a black leotard and tights, proper footwear (soft ballet shoes), and hair in a bun or pulled back away from the face if hair is short. 

Pointe Note: Dancing in pointe shoes requires a lot of strength and alignment. Pointework will be permitted ONLY after teacher approval. If pointework is desired, please contact me prior to the intensive to set up an evaluation (usually assessed during the first hour of intensive class). Students wearing pointe shoes in class without my approval will be asked to remove them.

In this intensive camp, we will cover the following:

- Daily Barre Exercises
- Daily Center Exercises and Combinations
- Daily Pre-Pointe Strength and Alignment Exercises
- Beginner Pointe (ONLY upon teacher approval) 
- Individual Drills (based on each student's needs)
- Conditioning Stretch and Flexibility Exercises
- Contemporary Ballet Choreography Workshop
- Ballet Vocabulary Practice (learn how to say and write ballet terms)
- Short Breaks are built into the daily schedule

Teacher-guided social time (approx. 15 minutes) is built into each day to include individual goals and reflection (ballet-specific). Students will have the opportunity to share their thoughts on these topics.

A daily schedule will be posted in the classroom a few days before intensive begins.
