Preparing Aspiring Dancers for Success
This two-week program gives aspiring dancers ages 9-19 the opportunity to complete their summer studies on a strong note and be fully prepared for the season ahead. The rigorous curriculum is designed for serious, dedicated, highly talented ballet students. Classes are taught by the distinguished BAE faculty led by Artistic Director Darla Hoover.
Both In-Studio and Virtual Programs will be offered this summer. The In-Studio Program will be limited enrollment and strong safety measures in place. The Virtual Program will enable students to advance their training from the safety of their home.
