Adult Summer Intensive is back!
Join us in August for a one-week program — this year we are offering two levels! A rare opportunity for adult dancers, this program aims to help adult dancers quickly make progress in their own ballet journey through daily technique class, dance conditioning, and offers a chance to learn classical ballet repertoire. Each level is one week and will culminate in an informal showcase to highlight the progress students have made followed by a reception.Intermediate | August 4-9, 2025
Elementary | August 11-16, 2025
Monday-Friday, 5:30-9:00pm & Saturday 10:00am-1:00pm
*Optional additional Conditioning class on Tue/Thu 5:00-5:30pmRegister now with link in bio 🔗#josemateoballettheatre #jmbt #adultdancer #adultballet #adultballetclass #adultballetbeginner #adultballetcommunity #adultsummerintensive
Beyond its usual role as recreation, entertainment or spectacle, how can dance in America be a force for positive change? 📣After decades of persistent advocacy and activism to advance social and environmental justice, recent destabilizing orders from top US government officials are brazenly countermanding advances in climate science, public health, education, diversity, inclusion, equity and other areas. It is no wonder why, in today’s environment, independent artists and arts organizations are looking to expand their role as advocates and activists, to support creative and rational solutions to the critical global issues that ultimately affect us all.Dance for World Community, proposes that dance is particularly well suited to effective advocacy and activism. Inherently social, dance is universally understandable, has great potential to bring diverse people together across cultural divides and can quickly build trust and community cohesion.How will we as dancers — performers, instructors, choreographers, administrators, scholars, independent dance artists and aficionados — respond to the critical social and environmental crises that can no longer be ignored by any of us?In this conference, we will examine different initiatives and models, exchange ideas and begin to build the necessary networks to strengthen our efforts to make a difference. Through this shared process, we will rouse the advocate and activist in each of us.DANCE FOR WORLD COMMUNITY CONFERENCE
