Dear Dancers,

Thank you for your interest in Cary Ballet Conservatory's summer intensive training program.

We offer a flexible enrollment policy, for 8 weeks (June 21st - August 13th) which allows students to attend for as little or as much time as they are able. Dancers will notice a marked improvement as our faculty and guest Master teachers carefully structure each weeks curriculum for maximum benefit. Daily ballet technique and pointe classes are followed by variations, jazz, character, Pilates, etc. In addition to our all-day workshops, many summer students also attend evening and Saturday classes.

Week 5 (Mon-Sat July 19 - 24th) will offer a more concentrated focus on jazz and contemporary dance. In addition to their daily ballet technique classes, CBC's outstanding Jazz faculty, along with nationally renowned guest teachers and our affiliate 3D Project jazz company will introduce several styles of original choreographic works on our dancers. Even those students who are only pursuing a ballet career will be challenged to increase their ability to be versatile, adapting to the diversified repertoire of most ballet companies. This particular week will be extended to include a special performance/demonstration on Saturday at 1pm.

Our CBC faculty greatly enjoys the special opportunity to share their expertise with new talented, serious-minded dancers from other areas. Cary Ballet's year-round students are warm, friendly, and also excited to welcome new visiting dancers. Many lasting friendships have been formed and many dancers return year after year. This enthusiasm, along with our wonderful professional faculty and guest teachers provides for optimal training and improvement.

Cary is a beautiful and safe family city offering many fun and cultural activities. In addition to your host family experience, CBC's hospitality coordinators plan special social events and outings.

We have received overwhelming interest for this year's summer program from previous attendees and new students. Space is limited. Please contact us to arrange your application of attending an audition or submitting a videotape/DVD for acceptance.

We hope to see you this summer!
