Summer Programs 2019
Summer Intensive Program
The Academy of Dance offers a rigorous summer intensive program for beginning through advanced dancers. Our schedule and courses of study are similar to the offerings of stay-away summer intensives but are available at a fraction of the cost.
Our summer intensives feature classes in classical technique, Pilates-based conditioning, pointe work, jazz, character, improvisation, contemporary, and more. Faculty include Naomi Hanvey, Lesley Gray, Phaedra Jarrett, Sara Wright, Sabrita Cohen, Darla Greene, and Heather Portue.
This year, we are offering students the option of signing up for each week separately as well as signing up for morning-only or afternoon-only classes. We hope this will give families the flexibility they need while also preventing our classes from surpassing the limit of 5 dancers per class under Phase 2 of Washington's Safe Start guidelines.
