We offer several summer options to meet the needs of every dancer:

Student Division Workshops

Perfect for young dancers, these workshops introduce ballet fundamentals in a fun and structured way. Students learn basic technique, musicality, and coordination while enjoying movement games and creative exercises. These workshops encourage imagination, self-expression, and a joyful first experience with ballet.

Classical & Contemporary Workshop

The Classical and Contemporary Workshop at Jacqueline’s School of Ballet is designed for male and female dancers ages 11 and older seeking to expand their training in both classical ballet and modern/contemporary dance. This intensive offers well-rounded instruction and is excellent preparation for ballet competitions and performance opportunities.

Dancers train in classical variations and pas de deux alongside contemporary technique and repertoire, developing versatility, artistry, and performance quality. Daily classes include ballet, contemporary, and repertoire rehearsals. The program concludes with a performance showcase, giving all participants the opportunity to present their work in a professional setting.
