We’re pleased to announce the details of our Summer Session in preparation for registration which begins on March 9th, 2017.
We’re offering a ton of great classes! Camps for students ages 3-12 are always a big hit and we look forward to having a lot of fun and teaching our students new skills.
We have a great, robust summer intensive program, by audition only, for intermediate and advanced students 10-18. The audition will be held at Southern Dance Theatre April 9th from 1:00-3:00pm.
We’ll also have a couple of brand new classes –
“Dancer’s Tune Up” is designed for students who will be attending summer programs out of town, to aid in preparation for good placement in ballet and contemporary. We have one or two week options!
Elite Ballet Program (EBP) at Southern Dance Theatre is in its second season. The Program is designed for the serious ballet student; offering special classes, classical variation and contemporary solo coaching, group choreography, performances, and select high level competitions.
This season six students were selected for the program by audition: Sienna Alpert, Madison Bourque, Savanna Bourque, Tori Gilbert, Caroline Kern, and Salma Kiuhan.
Participating coaches and choreographers included EBP Directors; Sandra Goodnough and Elizabeth Gonzalez, Julie Bravata, Christine O’Shea, and Roger Dunson.
The EBP team attended Youth American Grand Prix (YAGP) Regionals in Tampa and Universal Ballet Competition (UBC) in Miramar.
