Classical Ballet Workshop

Ages 10-17* | Newton Studio | Full-day program from 9am-4pm Monday-Friday
Program runs August 4-15 | Financial aid available

Our Classical Ballet Workshop includes classical ballet technique, conditioning and stretching, pointe or pre-pointe and mens’ work, corps de ballet work, as well as character, modern, and contemporary dance.

If you are a student interested in dancing with Boston Ballet School during the school year, or looking to maintain, grow, and refine your technique over the summer months and in preparation for the fall season, our Classical Ballet Workshop is a comprehensive training platform.

Application Process

To make sure all students are placed in an appropriate class for their skill level we ask that external students submit the following via DANCEAPPLY before registering for the Classical Ballet Workshop:

  • A headshot (or any front-facing photo of the student’s face)
  • A photo of the student in first position with preparatory arms
  • A photo of the student in tendu a le seconde with arms in second position (en face)

Please refer to the below tips for photos:

  • Take photos head-on, rather than taking them in the mirror.
  • Make sure the entire body is visible in the dance photos, so faculty can see full technique.
  • Make sure the lighting is conducive to being seen well. For the best results, light sources should be positioned in front of a student, rather than behind.

 

Families who register for our summer sessions and workshops by March 1 will save 5% on tuition (prices listed on the website are reflective of the early bird discount).
