The San Diego Ballet’s summer workshop is an intensive training course (open to Int/Adv. students, age 13+) that exposes intermediate/advanced students to a variety of dance techniques. The workshop will culminate with a videotaping of variations and pieces learned during the 2 weeks of training. Inclusive of the workshop fee, all students will receive a non – edited professional quality dvd for their personal use.

Our program is held at Dance Place San Diego, a state-of-the-art-facility, it has extra large studios, dressing rooms, showers, lockers, lounge, and is among the best in the state.  Located in Point Loma, it is minutes away from the beach, bay, parks, and food courts.  Accommodations can be obtained at a nearby Youth Hostel, rated # 2 in the country.

Schedule: 8:00am-4:00pm

The Artistic Intensive daily schedule (Monday through Saturday) begins with a stretch class, followed by a technique class and a point class.

These classes are followed by alternating jazz, modern, hip hop and pilates classes. The day finishes with a 90-minute session devoted to the creation of new choreographic works. A variety of classical variations are taught and coached through out the workshop.

For dancers who wish to augment their day, additional classes are offered to participants through the San Diego School of Ballet on Monday through Friday evening and Saturday at no additional charge.
