Enrollment Now Open

Summer Ballet Intensive

Program Dates: July 8th - 26th, 2024

The program at our academy offers a diverse range of classes, including a daily ballet technique class, pre-pointe/pointe, stretch/conditioning, and more, to ensure a comprehensive training experience. Students who are part of the Performance Track and attending the full program will have the unique opportunity to participate in an in-studio performance, which is scheduled for Friday, July 26th at 6:00pm. On the other hand, Non-Performance Track students will engage in all the technique classes but will not be involved in the performance rehearsal at the end of each day.

Our classes are expertly led by Directors Jose Chavez and Dana Nelson, along with ABA staff members Alyssa Chavez, Veronika Part, Lisa Loree, Joan Ross-Gair, and various special guest instructors, ensuring a high standard of teaching and personalized attention for each dancer. The focus of these classes is not only on proper placement and form but also on injury prevention. We emphasize clean, un-stylized technique to cultivate versatility in our dancers, enabling them to adapt to any style or company they wish to work with in the future. Additionally, the program includes targeted strengthening and core/cardio conditioning specifically designed for dancers, complemented by stretch classes and thera-band work to maintain strength and flexibility. Our aim is to provide professional quality training in classical ballet technique, preparing dancers for a professional ballet career, college dance programs, or to assist in their journey in contemporary dance. The training environment is enhanced by our well-equipped studios, which feature professionally sprung floors and are outfitted with air-conditioning and heating systems for optimal comfort.

  Excellent, high quality ballet instruction in a safe environment for all ages. From the front desk, to the teachers, to other parents and the kids, everyone is wonderful there because they share a love of dance. We look forward to classes each week and are so happy we switched from our other studio. Our daughter has grown tremendously and only wants to dance more!

  Incredible teachers, passion and instruction.  Worth every penny and all the countless hours of dedication behind the student and of the student.  Devoted teachers and instructors who's main priority are ALL of their students and their families as well.  No dance school drama... the dramas you see and witness are the intended ones with the talented students on stage during the spectacular productions done throughout the season.  The parents are truly devoted to helping one another and the kids support each other as well.  Discipline is expected inside and outside of the ballet studio and the students all rise to meet that because they want to out of care for their school, their teachers and one another.  Charter school, and military friendly...
