Cary Ballet Conservatory Summer Evening Classes

During the Summer, Cary Ballet Conservatory Continues to offer weekly classes in addition to Ballet and Dancer Intensives and Workshops.

Our Ballet Intensive summer program is known for its rigorous daily classes and is specifically designed for qualified students. Intensive students will experience a significant improvement as they attend daily extended classes in ballet technique, pointe, and variations. They will also receive training in other dance forms, including jazz, modern, character, and contemporary, as well as specialized classes in Pilates, Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), and therapeutic conditioning, aimed at enhancing their strength, flexibility, extension, and turnout.
Intensive programs are exclusively available through audition and open to dedicated, physically fit dancers who exhibit outstanding ability and potential. Minimum age requirement for Summer Intensives: 12 years.

We are thrilled to announce our Young Dancer Intensive 2024 will include our Aspiring Dancer Program. This program is specifically designed for dancers between the ages of 9-12, from dancers with 1-2 years ballet training to dancers who are beginning pointe work. Students will explore the different aspects of classical ballet and improve their technique with daily ballet classes, training on jumps, turns, stretch, conditioning, and classical variations. With small class sizes and individualized attention, YDI will provide these students with the extra support they need during this crucial stage of their development. Our curriculum will be tailored to their current abilities and strengths, ensuring optimal learning and growth. The week will culminate with an in-studio student showcase.

Conclude your summer with a thrilling one-week workshop focused on refining your technique and enhancing your artistry in performance. Whether you aspire to compete in the future or simply enjoy pushing your boundaries, our Prix Challenge Workshop is designed to help you build confidence in your skills and master new variations.
Ages 12 & up
Intermediate to Advanced levels with strong Pointe training preferable

Auditions: January 27, February 10 and March 9, 2024.

Housing: Cary Ballet Conservatory’s Boarding Program provides visiting dancers a home away from home experience. Selected dancers stay at a wonderful, nearby facility with a dedicated Residence Manager who provides support and care to our visiting students. Just around the corner, dancers are housed close enough to walk to and from the studio each day.

Besides the excellent training the dancers receive at Cary Ballet, we believe that what makes the Summer Intensive experience so memorable, is the friendships the dancers make with other dancers who share their passion for dance.
