The Harid Conservatory – Summer Intensive

The Summer Intensive is open to students in academic grades 8–11 at the time of the winter auditions, and offers a thorough introduction to HARID’s dance curriculum and programs. In addition, it serves as an extended audition for students seeking admission to HARID for the following school year. During the summer, students study with HARID’s full-time and adjunct faculty. The rigorous class schedule is similar to that offered during the school year.

Summer Intensive students find their free time filled with opportunities to experience and enjoy the many activities, special events, and historic sites South Florida has to offer. Supervised field trips are planned to various places of interest. Recreational activities include visits to the beach, swimming, and window shopping at renowned Mizner Park.

The Summer Intensive curriculum includes three levels, including separate ballet classes for advanced male and female students. Placement classes are conducted on the first day, and each student is placed in the level that will most effectively challenge their abilities. An informal demonstration is presented on the final day of the program.

Fees are charged for tuition, and room and board. Merit scholarships and financial aid are available to qualified students.

All Summer Intensive students live in HARID’s on-campus residence and are governed by the same rules and expectations established for students enrolled during the school year.

Attendance at the Summer Intensive is required for students seeking admission to HARID for the school year.
