July 21-August 15, 2008
The Northwest Ballet Summer Intensive is well named. Dancers are offered an intensive program which includes classical ballet technique, pointe & solo variations, jazz, modern dance, lyrical dance and hip-hop. The summer dance program provides an ideal environment for dancers who are committed to achieving a higher level of technique and artistry, and who may wish to pursue a career in dance. Northwest Ballet Summer Intensive participants, who take at least three of the four program weeks offered, will be able to perform in Daphnis & Chloe on August 15th, 2008 at McIntyre Hall.
You will be amazed at how your classical ballet technique, dance skills and confidence improve in Northwest Ballet's positive, nurturing environment. Behind all good dancers are good teachers and a time honored curriculum that works. Students and parents can both feel confident that this always has, and always will be the main priority at Northwest Ballet. Our qualified and experienced dance instructors will be conducting all classes.
With serious dance classes which always include some not too serious fun, Northwest Ballet Summer Intensive is hands down the most challenging, artistically rewarding and enjoyable time you can have while you're indoors and out of the sun dancing this summer!
