SUMMER STUDY 2023!

Find your own voice.
Show your best self.
Blur the line between class and performance.

Summer Study weeks offer serious dance students,
a highly concentrated curriculum in classical ballet and modern training
with accomplished faculty and acclaimed guest artists.

 Summer dance is traditionally a time to work intensively in developing technique and artistry. Students come to class during the day when they are not as tired from everyday activities, including school and can focus entirely on their training.

At St. Paul Ballet, we have created summer training that works in conjunction with traveling for intensive programs in other cities and family summer events.

The Summer Study program was created to continue a healthy progression of in-person classes so students may improve faster and still explore a variety of dynamic classes to expand each dancer’s movement vocabulary.

Dive in with our stellar staff and guest teachers accompanied by live musicians to gain strength and flexibility and learn techniques that reflect the diversity and range required by major dance companies today.

Summer Study is offered in our three spacious, 
air-conditioned studios with single weeks and flex-weeks to accommodate your schedule.

It is our passion to develop students for success as artists physically and emotionally. Each student is supported, nurtured and given the tools to express their love of dance!
