Summer Program 2023

The School of the Albany Berkshire Ballet’s Summer Program includes classes for all levels. We offer Dance Camps, Intensives, and Weekly Classes. Dance Camps are for children ages 4-9. They include a themed ballet class, learning a dance, and a craft. Intensives are week-long concentrated programs for aspiring intermediate and advanced dancers ages 10 and up to study ballet, pointe, and repertory. Weekly Classes provide dancers the opportunity to continue their training, maintaining the progress made through the school year, and give new dancers an opportunity to begin.
