Session Description

Ballet Chicago’s Junior Intensive, designed for dancers ages 8 to 12, gives students the foundation necessary to excel. We inspire students to become excited about beautiful posture, and we teach them how to combine purity of form with expressiveness, increasing the capacity of their minds as well as their bodies. Our carefully stepped curriculum includes ballet technique, repertoire, modern dance, Spanish folkloric dance, Pilates, and stretch. Placement is based on age, amount of prior training, and level of advancement. The program culminates with an in-studio viewing. Both in the classroom and in performance, Ballet Chicago builds ability, awareness, and self-confidence.
