IBA offers a seven-week summer intensive program designed for students age 9 and up who dance at an intermediate level and up. The program focuses on intensive classical training and is designed to challenge and encourage the student. Classes in ballet technique, pointe, partnering (if allowed under the COVID-19 protocols), variations, jazz, modern, pilates and yoga are combined with seminars focusing on proper nutrition and injury prevention. The goal is to provide opportunities for a dancer to grow both technically and artistically.
IBA will follow all our established COVID-19 protocols. These protocols may change depending on federal and state mandates and guidelines set out by the CDC.
