SUMMER INTENSIVE
2020
SUMMER INTENSIVE
JUNE 29TH - JULY 24TH, 2020
The Contra Costa Ballet Centre’s Summer Program offers classes for all levels (Pre-Ballet through Company) and a special, Summer Intensive specifically designed for Levels 3 through Advanced students. (For classes offered for children ages 3.5 – 7, please visit the Children’s Division Summer Program page.)
The Summer Intensive features an extensive curriculum delivered by a highly-professional faculty with years of experience both as dance educators and performers. The directors, and many of the faculty, have worked with the most prestigious ballet institutions in the U.S., including American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, and San Francisco Ballet.
The students follow a Russian-based, yet truly American syllabus. The curriculum consists of ballet technique, pointe, boys' class, classical variations, contemporary variations, character, modern, Flamenco, physical conditioning, anatomy (with Pilates-based exercises), and repertoire (which culminates in a workshop performance for Levels 3 - Advanced). This challenging program is offered with encouragement and individual attention within a nurturing environment.
Private instruction is available upon request.
LEVELS 1 - ADVANCED (6 & CO.)
For experienced dancers, ages 8 - 19.
Audition required for new students; please visit the Auditions page for audition information. Current CCBC families and prospective students who have already auditioned may register online according to their class placement.
