ADULT SUMMER INTENSIVE

School of the Sacramento Ballet

August 3–7, 2026 | 5–8 PM Daily


Bridge the gap between dance skill and fun.

This one-week intensive is designed for beginner to intermediate adult ballet dancers who are ready to go deeper — into their technique, their artistry, and their love of movement. Whether you’ve been dancing for years or are returning to the barre after time away, this is your week to challenge yourself, connect with a community, and discover what you’re truly capable of.


What to Expect

Five evenings of immersive training with professional faculty, including:

  • Ballet Technique (offered at two levels: Beginning and Intermediate/Advanced)
  • Jazz & Contemporary
  • Choreography
  • Turns & Turning Technique
  • Partnering
  • Strength & Conditioning
  • End-of-Week Showcase Performance

Classes in ballet technique are leveled to meet you where you are. All other sessions bring both groups together, and choreography is crafted with both levels in mind, so every dancer feels challenged, supported, and seen.

Please note: Participants should have a solid foundation in basic barre technique. This intensive is not recommended for those who are completely new to ballet.
