🌞 Camps, Intensives & Classes for All Ages
Ballet Camps are perfect for young dancers (ages 3–10) who want a fun, artistic summer experience. These half-day, week-long camps mix ballet class with creative activities like music, storytelling, crafts, and even dance history all wrapped in themes that make movement magical. Every camp ends with a special presentation for family and friends!
For dancers looking to deepen their training, Summer Ballet Intensives provide full-day, focused instruction. These programs from Primary to Senior levels include ballet technique classes and a range of electives like modern, jazz, improvisation, choreography, anatomy and dance history. Advanced programs also bring in guest artists for a rich, immersive experience. Each intensive culminates in an opportunity to observe class in real time showcasing what students have learned.
In addition to camps and intensives, Springfield Ballet’s summer class sessions give students of all levels the chance to continue regular training in ballet and elective dance styles while still enjoying summer break.
