Ballet Idaho – Summer Intensive

2, 3, and 4-Week Options

Join us at Ballet Idaho for our extraordinary 2026 Summer Intensive!

This vibrant program invites aspiring dancers aged 11 to 22, levels intermediate through advanced, to immerse themselves in a transformative four-week journey. Our curriculum focuses on Ballet, Pointe, Variations, and Men’s Class, while offering supplementary classes in Pas de Deux, Pilates, Contemporary, Jazz, and more! Our exceptional faculty, features Ballet Idaho company dancers and artistic staff, as well as renowned local and national choreographers.

Unique to our Intensive is the “Company Experience,” taking place in the 3rd and 4th weeks. Replicating a day in the life of a professional dancer, each day students will work closely with Ballet Idaho company members and artistic staff as they delve into Ballet Idaho Repertory. An informal showcase will take place on Friday, July 24, highlighting student accomplishments and creativity. Our full schedule will be both rigorous and rewarding as dancers cultivate technique, strength, and versatility – all while making memories that last a lifetime. We hope you join us in the City of Trees in July, 2026.
