The summer classes will follow the GITIS textbook by Viatislav Valuchin, a definitive work on classical dance. The program is open to students with at least three years of ballet training. Classes will run Monday through Friday with four classes of 1 ½ hour per day taught by two Russian masters, one female and one male expert in partnering and repertory. Each course will focus on one of four areas: partnering, historical dance/character dance, classical and repertory. The first Saturday will feature a bonus guided cultural outing to a local arts event. The course will conclude on Saturday with an open house workshop at which family and friends can watch a demonstration of the students' achievements.
