I'm proud to offer in-depth Intensives for high-school, university, and pre-professional dance program students.

Our bi-annual Ballet Intensives encourage dancers to break past their current comfort zone by challenging as yet untried material and arming you with stage-tested approaches explained and demonstrated first-hand by seasoned professionals each with 20+ years of experience both on stage and coaching in the studio. Your understanding of both advanced and fundamental technique will deepen and become more automatic, authentic, and accessible. Gain more finely focused lines, fluidity, sharper allegro, more balanced turns, and more power in your jumps, even while moving with dynamicism and breadth. As we guide you forward, you will benefit from direct access to the collective experience of our staff, selected from the finest and most experienced industry insiders Toronto has to offer.

All dance requires focus and dedication, so we expect that from you as well. Particularly since you will be training for 7.5 hours daily. But, if you work well and practice applying your corrections thoughtfully, I guarantee you will progress rapidly and will be able to take pride confidently utilizing every improvement mastered during our Intensive.

I hope you'll join us!

Sincerely,
Jeremy Nasmith
Artistic Director
