THE BALLET INTENSIVE
JULY 7TH - 9TH, 2026
The Ballet Intensive is designed for Intermediate, Pre-Professional, and Collegiate dancers ready to elevate their training. Hosted at The Studio in Cedarburg, WI—just 25 minutes from downtown Milwaukee—dancers train in two state-of-the-art studios with small class sizes that allow for individualized corrections and meaningful feedback.
Over three focused days, dancers work with faculty who are either current working professional artists or retired professional dancers, bringing real-world experience and industry insight into every class. Training emphasizes proper placement, strength, musicality, and the versatility required in today’s professional dance world.
All levels participate in Stretch & Conditioning, Ballet Technique, Contemporary Ballet, and Variations, with Pas de Deux offered to the Advanced division.
Join us for three days of growth, artistry, and professional-level development.
