The Florida Ballet is offering a Summer Intensive program for dance students looking to further their dancing skills.
The Florida Ballet’s program is comparable to other professional dance companies and university dance department programs that are offered throughout the United States. The Florida Ballet is Jacksonville’s professional dance company and their Summer Intensive program is for dance students who would like to stay in Jacksonville for training instead of traveling elsewhere.
The Florida Ballet Summer Intensive begins June 18 and finishes with a performance by selected students at the Florida Theatre on July 27. Students have the option of attending all six weeks or as few as two consecutive weeks. Intermediate and advanced level students attend up to four classes a day, Monday-Friday, while elementary level students may attend two-three afternoons a week.
Tuition is based on the level of study. Students applying to the program must attend a placement audition at 300 E. State St., Suite E. Audition dates are this Saturday, May 5 and 19 all from 2-4 p.m. Please call 353-7518 or e-mail [email protected] for more information.
