Boston Ballet School offers a summer intensive training program in classical ballet with a comprehensive curriculum designed for the serious ballet student. Curriculum is based on age and level of development.

Summer Dance Program - Boston offers aspiring pre-professional students ages 15-19 five to six hours of dance classes per day taught by our international faculty, with a focus on the development of classical ballet technique.

Summer Dance Program - Newton is for our younger female and male students ages 10-14, who dance at our Metrowest Studio in Newtonville.

A residential program is available at both sites, and all students ages 11-19 are welcome to register as residential students. Summer Dance Program students are selected by audition only. Our 38-city audition tour will run five weeks in January and February, 2009.
