This five-week program is designed for experienced dancers who are ready to challenge themselves artistically and technically. During the first four weeks, dancers will immerse themselves in classical ballet technique, pointe, men’s class, modern and contemporary dance, and musical theater/jazz, strengthening versatility and performance range.

The final week features a special collaboration with Presenting Denver, where dancers will work closely with professional choreographers to develop new choreography to be presented on stage at the 2026 Denver Dance Festival at the Newman Center. This unique opportunity provides pre-professional dancers with real-world rehearsal and performance experience.
