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. Class dates and times will be announced in Spring 2021.
