Description
The Project Ballet Intermediate Intensive is a half-day camp for serious young dancers who are interested in continuing their training throughout the summer months. Dancers will improve their technique through the daily study of ballet technique, supplemented by contemporary dance classes, strength/conditioning classes, and the study of ballet history/repertory.
​
Qualifications
Project Ballet students who have been placed in Levels 2 or 3 for the 2024-2025 school year are eligible for the Intermediate Intensive. Guest dancers with an equivalent level of training would generally be 8-12 years old and accustomed to studying ballet 2-4 days per week. However, at Project Ballet, level placement is based on skill competency, rather than age, so this age range is meant as a guideline, not a restriction. Guest dancers will need to reach ou to our Artistic Director, Beth McLeish, to schedule a level placement evaluation, prior to enrolling: mcleish@projectballet.org
​
Pointe Class Add-On
Dancers with previous pointe experience should elect to add-on the pointe class, which meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays for an additional half hour. (12:00-12:30pm for the morning camp sessions and 3:30-4:00pm for the afternoon camp sessions.)
​
Tuition
The Project Ballet Intermediate Intensive is $225 per week. Currently enrolled PB dancers may use a discount code to receive $20 off their enrollment, per week, if they enroll by April 1, 2024. A minimum $50 deposit is due a registration. Payment plan options will be available at check-out.
​
The pointe class add-on for dancers with previous pointe experience is $30 additional per week.
​
Tuition is non-refundable. Tuition cannot be transferred, except in the case of documented illness or injury documented by a doctor's note. If a doctor's note is produced by 4:00pm on the Thursday prior to the Monday of the intensive week starting, then summer intensive tuition can be transferred into account credit to be used for future classes. Otherwise, tuition is forfeited.
​
Summer Attendance Requirement
Project Ballet students placed in Level 2 or Level 3 for the 2024-2025 school year must attend a minimum of two weeks of the Intermediate Intensive to fulfill our summer attendance requirement.
