North Central Ballet’s Intensive Summer Workshop is not just another summer program—it’s a transformative experience designed to elevate their skills, nurture their passion for dance, and foster growth both on and off the stage.

Our Summer Ballet Intensive Workshop is a three-week immersion into the world of classical ballet and modern dance, led by esteemed guest faculty who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the studio. From mastering the techniques of classical ballet and pointe work to exploring the nuances of modern dance and classical repertoire, each day is filled with enriching opportunities for your dancers to expand their horizons and reach new heights in their craft.

Participation in our intensive program is more than just a summer activity—it’s an investment in your dancer’s future. Not only will they build strength, flexibility, and technical proficiency, but they will also develop invaluable skills such as discipline, perseverance, and teamwork that will serve them well both on and off the stage.

Space in our Summer Ballet Intensive Workshop is limited, and we encourage you to secure your dancer’s spot early to avoid disappointment. Whether they aspire to pursue a career in dance or simply wish to deepen their love and appreciation for the art form, this workshop promises to be a rewarding and unforgettable experience.
