Starting in January of each year, the intermediate and advanced level dance students of  ballet schools are already excited about and planning for summer intensive programs.  These are programs run by large and usually fairly prestigious ballet companies and conservatories around the country. Admission into these summer intensive programs is by audition only. Summer Intensives provide a wonderful opportunity for the young, fairly serious dancer to train with new and often very experienced teachers,  explore a new location and make new friends.

Here are some shots taken during Colorado Ballet Summer Intensive’s culmination performance in July 2014.
