ABOUT THE SLB SUMMER INTENSIVE
Saint Louis Ballet’s summer intensive program for ages 7-21 offers the most complete program in the metro area with a variety of dance genres while standing on the principle that ballet is the foundation for success in all areas of dance. Expanding the program last year and offering 4 levels, you are guaranteed to have a class to fit you! Daily ballet technique, pre-pointe or pointe classes and another genre class will make up the students daily schedule of 3 classes per day for the intermediate and advanced students.
