Summer Dance Intensive - 6 weeks Wednesdays Starting July 1st 2026
9:30-12:00 - Juniors (8-12yrs)
What is a Summer Dance Intensive
The Summer Dance Intensive is typically held during summer break for young dancers between the age of 8-18. Sometimes we will start a student age 5-7 if the student shows strong potential.
The idea behind the summer dance intensive is to provide a rigorous period of dance training. You’ll spend your days immersed in dance-receiving instruction and gaining strength. The intensive is likely to be one of the most memorable and valuable parts of your dance education.
Benefits of Summer Dance Intensives
Typically a week or a multi week program that includes advanced instruction in various elements of dance necessary for you to advance as an artist. During the intensive, you will work alongside students of many different levels receiving instruction from professional level instructors.
At C-PAC we offer intensive courses for students from beginning or intermediate up through advanced levels. All students learn from the same instructors and will receive individualized attention. Learning from new instructors is key to any dance education - a different teacher might see something and give a correction in a new way that makes the lightbulb go off. Who Knows? May triple pirouette are only a week away!
Think it sounds rigorous? It is! Students will gain bodily strength, flexibility, and muscle memory while improving their technique, artistry, and performance skills. Its instruction that far surpasses what students may have experienced previously. Students will be working very hard: all day every week!
Summer Dance Intensive is about Growth
It’s not just the quality of instruction that makes a summer dance intensive so beneficial for young dancers. The structure and time spent in rigorous training also leads to growth. Summer dance intensive students are immersed in dance nearly full time, attending 2-5 classes per day depending on their age. Strength, flexibility and technique improve in a very short period of time.
Columbiana Performing Arts Center is proud to bring this experience to our students as a valuable tool in their education and training.
