Summer Intensive 2023

August 14-18, 2023

Ballet Edmonton Summer Dance Intensive offers dedicated dance students the opportunity to learn from professional dancers and choreographers and work on repertoire that expands their physical vocabulary. This intensive is designed to help students with a strong technical foundation explore new perspectives on contemporary dance practices.
