This workshop provides the opportunity for serious young dancers,
ages 9-11, to actively flourish in a professional, yet nurturing
environment. Under the direction of Franco De Vita, Principal of
ABT’s Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School, the outstanding faculty
members of ABT will provide unparalleled instruction, while remaining
sensitive to the developmental needs of younger dancers.
Classes will be held from approximately 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, Monday
through Friday. The Young Dancer Summer Workshop will focus
on building a solid foundation in ballet technique and educating
younger dancers about related topics in the world of dance. Students
will begin each day with a ballet technique class, and will continue
with pointe or pre-pointe work, boys’ class, character, and
choreography. Workshops in nutrition, ballet terminology, dance
history, classroom and rehearsal etiquette, and injury prevention
will enhance the young dancers’ experience, and provide them
with a well-rounded education they can continue to use in their
future artistic development.
