Ballet Summer Intensive

Join Butler dance faculty, under the artistic direction of Marek Cholewa, for our new pre-professional dance intensive on the beautiful campus of Butler University. The 4-week intensive will have a classical ballet focus with additional classes in pas de deux, character, modern, jazz, and repertoire. It will conclude with a final performance in the Howard L. Schrott Center for the Arts on the last Saturday of the Intensive. Please note: students must turn age 13 by the first day of the Intensive in order to be eligible to participate. Students are encouraged to apply early as space is limited. Video auditions may be requested in addition to a completed application form. Applicants will receive this request via email after submitting the application form. Video auditions should consist of one classical variation (ladies en pointe). Details regarding video submission are available on the application form. Housing is provided in Butler University's ResCo dorm, which is air-conditioned. More detailed scheduling information, what to bring and where to report, etc. will be included with the Intensive information packet provided to all participants in early summer.
