Dayton Ballet Summer Intensive 2025

June 7–August 2; 9am–4:30pm
Ages:
12–23
In partnership with Wright State University, Dayton Ballet’s Summer Intensive is a 4-week program providing high-quality training in an encouraging, nurturing, and motivating environment. Dancers will have the opportunity to strengthen and improve their technique which will continue to prepare them for a professional career in dance.
Dancers will be training at the beautiful studios at Wright State University. Our smaller classes will provide more one-on-one attention and ensure each dancer's maximum artistic and technical growth. Dancers will study ballet, pointe, variations, Men’s Technique, partnering, and ballet repertoire as well as complementary dance styles such as modern, contemporary, Pilates, and yoga.
Our Summer Faculty includes Dayton Ballet Artistic staff, Dayton Ballet Company Artists, and guest faculty from ballet companies around the U.S.
Fees for Summer Intensive at Wright State University
Supervised housing and meals will be available at Wright State University, where all dance classes will be held. Dorm students will be provided with Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner and have access to on-campus recreational facilities, and weekend excursions such as King’s Island and Carillon Park among other places. Dancers participating for the full four weeks will culminate their experience with a showcase performance at Wright State University. Dancers participating in the two-week program will have a class demonstration to culminate their experience.
