ACADEMY UPDATE
In order to uphold the health and safety of our community and to remain compliant with appropriate social distancing guidelines, Charlotte Ballet Academy announces the following changes to its summer programming:
- Summer Dance Camps for children ages 3–7 are canceled.
- Programs that were scheduled to begin June 15—including Junior Intensive, Workshop and Boot Camp—have been canceled.
- Summer Dance Classes for students ages 7–10 have been canceled.
Important Information regarding Summer Camp and Class payments and refunds:
- Initial deposits and fees already paid will be refunded.
- Tuition installments that were scheduled for May 1 and June 1 will not be drafted.
The Jr. Intensive is offered the first week of the Academy’s Summer Session. The Jr. Intensive offers classes in Ballet, Pointe, Modern, Jazz, Boys Body conditioning, Character, and Contemporary Repertoire for one week with the Academy’s outstanding faculty members. Students can take both the Jr. Intensive and the Summer Workshop, or either program by itself. A placement class is required for non-Academy students to attend the Junior Intensive.
PROGRAM
The Jr. Intensive is recommended for Charlotte Ballet Academy Ballet II and Ballet III students and is designed to help students age 9-12 build strength and technique in preparation for participation in the more advanced Summer Intensive program.
CLASSES
Two specialized classes are offered for pointe work: Pointe Strength Training for students with no prior training in pointe shoes, and Pointe for students with 6 months or more of training in pointe shoes.
Jr. Intensive is divided into two levels: A and B. While both levels share the same curriculum, Level A is tailored for students with accelerated proficiency to refine the qualities of their technique, and Level B is designed to fortify fundamentals of each student’s ballet technique and movement qualities.
WAITLIST
If a level meets capacity, we will still accept enrollments and placement classes, however students will be placed on a waitlist. Families will be notified in the order they signed up if space becomes available.
PLACEMENT CLASSES
Students not currently enrolled in Charlotte Ballet Academy must take a placement class in order to enroll in Jr. Intensive. All placement classes are held at Center for Dance uptown, and are available on the following dates:
February 29 | 3:30 – 5 PM
