Junior Summer Intensive

June 8-19, 2026

Designed for young dancers ages 8-12 eager to grow both technically and artistically, the Junior Intensive offers a dynamic and engaging summer experience. Students will strengthen their ballet foundation through technique, pre-pointe and pointe, and boys’ classes while exploring a variety of complementary styles including character, contemporary/jazz, Progressing Ballet Technique and pantomime. Students have the option of selecting 1 or 2 weeks. 

Through thoughtful instruction and a supportive environment, students will build confidence, artistry, and a deeper love for dance. Each week finalizes with an in-studio presentation showcasing classwork the students have learned through the week and a repertory piece created just for them.

Students of the Junior Summer Intensive may request to be evaluated for level placement at The Sarasota Ballet School.

There is no residential option for the Junior Summer Intensive. All students are responsible for their transportation to the studios.
