There is no students here… We are all professionals! Or rather – we are all students!
The Ballet Academy Summer Intensive offers specialized dance courses tailored for young professionals, including dancers with Master’s or Bachelor’s degrees. The program emphasizes individual reflection, constant experimentation, and drawing inspiration from diverse sources—core principles that define the Ballet Academy’s philosophy.
Participants are encouraged to push boundaries, explore innovative ideas, and refine their artistry in a dynamic environment that combines technical mastery with personal growth. It’s an opportunity for professional dancers to deepen their skills while engaging in creative exploration alongside like-minded artists.
Beyond Traditional Summer Workshops
The Ballet Academy Summer Intensive goes far beyond typical summer programs focused solely on refining students’ performances for concerts, auditions, or competitions. Here, participants are encouraged to cultivate a deeply personal relationship with their most essential instrument—the body.
This unique approach inspires dancers to explore their physical and artistic potential, not just through technical training but also by engaging in creative exploration and self-reflection. By focusing on individuality and fostering a deeper understanding of movement and expression, the program empowers dancers to connect with their craft in meaningful and transformative ways.
A team of motivated coaches is there to assist our young artists in their personal research: everyone has to go through this exciting and sometimes painful process of finding his or her own path…
