Texas Metropolitan Ballet will be holding a one week Summer Intensive for Upper Level dancers and a separate one week intensive for Junior Level dancers designed to offer the highest quality training to the serious beginner, intermediate, and advanced 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.
