Summer Dance Intensive is a three-week program that provides students with a challenging and rewarding dance experience within a safe and creative community.  Students dance from Monday to Friday for approximately 22 hours per week. With an emphasis on versatility and technique, classes include:

  • Ballet Technique
  • Pointe Work
  • Boy’s Work
  • Repertoire
  • Modern
  • Spanish/Flamenco
  • Jazz
  • Hip Hop
  • Conditioning

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM (PTP)     Audition Required
Attending the Summer Dance Intensive offers both the students and the faculty an opportunity to work together in a studio environment to see if QBSC is the right fit for you as a potential
full-time professional student.  Visit Auditions & Masterclasses for more information.

OPEN TRAINING PROGRAM (OTP)     Audition Not Required, but Recommended
Designed to provide a challenging Summer Dance experience, this is an excellent option for those students who are not necessarily looking for a full time professional program.  However, an OTP student may be offered acceptance to the full time professional training program based on talent and commitment displayed. Students registering for the OTP without audition, may be placed on a waiting list in order to accommodate students who have attended an audition location.

PTP and OTP students take classes together, including special workshops, and are placed in levels according to their age and ability.
