Ballet Studio Junior Intensive Ages 9–14

Ballet Studio is COCA's Jr. Ballet Intensive. This full-day, 3-week intensive includes ballet, modern, and character technique classes led by American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum Pre-Primary-Level 5 Certified Instructors. Students focus on elements to improve their training as performing artists: musicality, the expressiveness of contrasting movement energies, character development, and human emotion. Technical focus includes pirouettes, petite allegro, adagio, and pointe (pre-pointe when appropriate). The dancers learn the process of preparing for a performance. The intensive is divided into two sections based on each dancer's ability. Dancers must be levels Ballet II, IIA, III, IV or V (if currently enrolled at COCA) or have completed more than three years of classical ballet training. The intensive culminates with a free, open performance for family and friends on Friday, July 23 at 7:00PM.
