2025 Summer Intensive
A summer dance intensive is an excellent opportunity to not only keep active during the summer but to learn new skills and grow both technically and artistically as dancers. Led by Artistic Director Nicole Kelsch, Conservatory Principal Emily Carey, and the BTM Conservatory faculty, students will be taught, rehearsed, and mentored by current or previous professional dancers.
During both the 1-week and the 3/5-week intensives, students will take dance classes in ballet technique, pointe or pre/demi-pointe (as applicable), variations, partnering (as applicable), jazz, contemporary/modern, conditioning, and acting or musical theatre, as well as rehearsals for the Summer Showcase Performance.
