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.
Daily classes in ballet, contemporary, improvisation, and repertoire. There will not be pointe work as the focus is on contemporary movement.
REQUIREMENTS: No audition is required, but applicants need a minimum of five years of ballet training.
