Summer Intensive
Bossov Ballet Theatre's six-week intensive summer program is designed to replicate a professional company performance experience by participating in a full-scale production that takes students from the classroom to the stage. In addition to an intense focus on technical development provided by a carefully selected group of Vaganova teaching professionals, the artistry and performance skills acquired from participating in a full length, professional-level production creates students ready for company success.
In addition, the program provides comprehensive Russian training with a strong emphasis on technique, pointe, partnering, variation and character.

The six-week intensive culminates with a full-scale performance at a professional theatre. Two public performances are held at the end of the Intensive. Productions staged over the past four years include Giselle, Don Quixote, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake. In 2023 we will present a full-scale production of two one-act ballets: Carmen & Chopiniana.
