July 4 - July 30, 2010

Come and Join us in the picturesque city of Belleville, Ontario for a fun-filled summer of dancing! The region boasts white sand beaches, Sandbanks Provincial Park, the promenade along the Bay of Quinte and activities such as the Prince Edward County Taste Trail, the Jazz Festival, professional theatre events, arts festivals and more.

The Quinte Ballet School of Canada's Summer Dance programme will operate from July 4, 2010 to July 30, 2010.  There are two programmes:  the Professional Intensive Programme and the Open Programme.  Students in both programmes are taught by the same artistic staff and guest teachers at the School's state-of-the-art facility.

Professional Intensive Programme

This programme is comprised of individuals who are completing the International Audition Tour in order to enter the Quinte Ballet School of Canada as a full-time professional dance student beginning in September of 2010.  

Depending on the student's level of placement, classes may include:  Ballet Technique, Pointe, Male Work, CentreWork/Enchainements, National, Jazz, Moderne, Spanish, Stretch & Strength, Pas de Deux and Repertoire.*

*Curriculum subject to change.  

Open Programme
 
This programme is designed to provide an exciting, challenging and educational dance experience to students during the month of July.  No audition is necessary to participate; however, students should have a minimum of two years of ballet training.  Students are placed in a level determined by their age.  Special guest teachers augment the School's artistic staff to provide classes in Ballet, Tap, Musical Theatre, Jazz, Hip Hop, Moderne, National (Junior), Centre Work, Spanish (Senior) and Stretch & Strength.*

*Curriculum subject to change.

Early registration for the 4 week or 2 week Programme is recommended as space fills up quickly.

Residence Accomodation
 
Students in both programmes stay at Albert College, a local private school, which is located in close proximity to the Ballet School.  A complete staff of counselors provides supervision for the students. A well-rounded schedule of leisure activities are offered, including workshops, crafts, sports and movies.

Placement Assessments 

Assessments for correct placement will be conducted within the Professional Intensive Programme on the first day, with students placed at the level appropriate to their experience.

Closing Demonstration

Students from both programmes participate in a closing demonstration which takes place on the last day of Summer School.  Parents and relatives are invited to attend this demonstration which highlights class work and Repertoire learned during the month.
