Texas Metropolitan Ballet will be holding a one week half-day Summer Intensive for Upper Level and Junior Level dancers  designed to offer the highest quality training to the serious advanced beginner, intermediate, and advanced pre-professional student. Dancers will receive training in a safe, professional environment with sprung wood floors and non-slip marley surface.  During the week, curriculum at all levels will be focused on classical ballet augmented with additional classes for an exposure to a variety of disciplines.  It is our mission to nurture, encourage, and motivate students in the art of performing. The week-long intensive training will provide dancers the opportunity to excel through a program emphasizing technique, musicality and artistic expression necessary for the classically trained dancer.  In addition to classes taught by renowned Texas Metropolitan Ballet's faculty, students will have the opportunity to study with various nationally-recognized guest instructors
