ONLINE SUMMER INTENSIVE
2020
ONLINE SUMMER INTENSIVE
JULY 6TH - JULY 31ST, 2020
The Contra Costa Ballet Centre’s Online Summer Program offers interactive, live instruction for Levels 1 through Advanced dancers, by a highly-developed faculty with years of experience both as dance educators and performers. Our directors and faculty have collectively worked with the most prestigious ballet institutions in the U.S., including American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, and San Francisco Ballet.
Students follow a Russian-based, yet truly American syllabus. The curriculum has been adapted as appropriate for an online environment and consists of ballet technique, pointe, character, and electives such as modern, Flamenco, anatomy, and Pilates mat class. Dancers are required to participate through video so that they may receive individual corrections.
LEVELS 1 - ADVANCED (5 - CO.)
For experienced dancers, ages 8 - 19.
*Audition is required* for new students and may be scheduled virtually through June 19th, by emailing school@contracostaballet.org. Current CCBC families and prospective students who have already auditioned may register online according to their class placement.
TUITION
Please note that tuition rates shown are for the full, 4-week session.
Level 1/2 $170.00 (4 classes per week)
Level 3 335.00 (8 classes per week)
Level 4 480.00 (12 classes per week)
Advanced (5 - Co.) 660.00 (15 classes per week)
(Plus a registration fee of $50 for new students only.)
Note that all online registration requests will be charged for the full four-week program (currently-enrolled CCBC students in Levels 5 - Company whose participation in another summer intensive conflicts with full attendance should contact the school administrator at school@contracostaballet.org for weekly registration options).
