Our Summer Intensive offers a 5 week program integrating many different dance disciplines and styles. The program features guest instructors from around the world bringing with them vast expertise. Our goal at the Academy is to train strong dancers that are versatile in various forms of dance both technically & artistically.

Dancers in the Summer Intensive have the opportunity to dance in a culminating performance showcasing pieces from Washington State Ballet’s company repertoire and new choreography created exclusively for the Summer Intensive performance.

The Repertoire Showcase will be an outdoor performance at Esther Short Park, Saturday, August 11, 2007 at 6PM.
