The Summer at Sem dance program offers a two-week dance intensive focusing on all levels of ballet, pointe, and partnering. This rigorous program is led by a faculty of professional dancers and choreographers who come from diverse backgrounds and have immeasurable professional experience.
The summer camp curriculum allows dances to refine their technique and increase their stamina while working in a professional-level dance company. Masterclasses offered by guest artists emphasize artistic experience and increase exposure to additional techniques and aesthetics.
The daily structure of our dance program begins with morning classes of ballet and pointe/partnering. All classes are level-appropriate. After lunch, dancers enjoy two choreography periods to learn, rehearse, and perform numbers for their final dance performances.
The ballet session offers a closing performance of dancers, guest artists, and faculty, giving dancers an unprecedented opportunity to perform alongside their instructors.
They’re here, they want to learn; I have to produce something every single day. I have to teach them something every single day. It’s strenuous, it’s exhausting, but it’s fun; and it’s one of the highlights of my year every year.
