Students will receive training from guest teachers as well as our year round faculty. The Intensive provides a professional-level experience in a warm and supportive environment. The program offers serious ballet training with class sizes limited for personalized attention.
The program is designed for dancers aged 11 and older who have had a minimum of 3 years of ballet training and have been taking ballet a minimum of 2 times per week in the year preceding the Intensive. Director approval is needed to register. Contact Teresa Taylor at teresabeniciaballetdirector@gmail.com.
