Intensive Course: Monday-Thursday
June 25-August 2

This 5 week course will be held Monday through Thursday. The fifth week will be spent in stage rehearsals to prepare for the performance of Invitation to the Dance.

The Intensive will be geared to students who have been on pointe for at least two or more years. Prospective students may take a placement class, prior to the program.

A sample day schedule will be as follows:

• 1:00—3:00 Classical technique
• 3:00—4:00 Pointe and variations
• 4:00-5:00 Character, modern, pilates or rehearsal.

Pointe Preparation: Fridays 1:00—2:30
June 29, July 13, 20, 27

Level 3 students ages 9—12 are invited to participate in training to prepare for pointe work.

We additionally offer the Pointe Preparation to less experienced students who are either not yet on pointe, or are very new to pointe work.

We will also invite Continental Ballet Company ‘s professional dancers to participate in choreography workshops with the students.

Students participating in either of our summer sessions will have the opportunity to perform on stage as part of our Invitation to the Dance. This performance is held each summer to introduce new families to the art of classical ballet and to encourage students to register for fall classes.

The Invitation to the Dance will be in the Bloomington Center for the Arts in the Schneider Theater.
