We offer 4 and 5-Day DanceCamps and Intensives the first two weeks of August for the beginner to advanced student and Evening Classes in July, for Int/Adv dancers. Check our ENROLL page for a listing of current classes.
Participation in summer programs is advised for all students preparing for, or dancing in, pointe shoes. Students dancing in pointe shoes are expected to enroll in the two weeks of BSVT Summer Intensives to maintain their technique and strength year-round. Weekly class enrollment is also advised when offered. Pointe students who are considering off-campus ballet programs which conflict with BSVT Summer Intensive dates need approval from the Director. Exceptions for health, travel or individual family situations can be requested. Beginner pointe shoe dancers will be re-evaluated in the fall when they have not taken summer classes to ensure proper strength for Fall pointe classes.
