Advanced Summer Performance Workshop

June 27–July 31, 2022

BBT’s Summer Performance Workshops have earned a reputation for being the most thorough and rewarding dance experience a student can have during the summer, and many use it as a launching pad for a professional career in dance. This year’s visiting guest artistic directors include James Sofranko of Grand Rapids Ballet (Week 1), Robert Curran of Louisville Ballet (Week 2), Devon Carney of Kansas City Ballet (Week 3), and Stephen Mills of Ballet Austin (Week 4). Artistic Directors will use classes as an audition for Trainee, Apprentice, 2nd Company or Company positions!

Dancers will take classes in ballet technique, pointe technique, variations, jazz, modern, Pilates, and hip-hop. In class, dancers will have the opportunity to audition for visiting Artistic Directors as well as ask questions during the “Meet the Director” lecture series. Learn what it is to be a member of a corps de ballet while dancing with some of the finest professional dancers in the world! The Summer Performance Workshop will culminate in a full-length production of The Sleeping Beauty on July 30th and July 31st.
