ABOUT
Ballet Nocturne's Summer Intensive is designed for students in Maryland who want the intensive experience right here in their home city, no dorms, no flights, no packing, just good ballet training.
​
We believe that summer intensives are a valuable aspect of a dancer's training, and create lifelong memories and friendships. Dancers get to learn from new teachers, gain exposure to different styles of dance, and meet dancers from all over and share experiences. This is why we've created a Summer Intensive right here in Maryland for dancers throughout our community.
​
Ballet Nocturne's Summer Intensive is constructed with our principles of inclusion and body positivity in mind, meaning that classes are taught mindfully, and dancers will have the opportunity to learn about topics such as expanding access to dance, injury prevention and self-care, and the histories behind the way we view dance.
