2010 Summer Intensive

...means Full Artistic Immersion, Education and Creative Expression! Summer Camps and our two Summer Intensive programs give students who have an interest in the performing arts an opportunity to explore their passions, make new friends and prepare a performance.

Our Themed Week Long Musical Theatre Dance Camps Begin June 20th and include Pop Stars Rock, The Best of Broadway, Glee Club Superstars, Pixar LIVE, Angelina and YOUR Ballerina and MORE! All camps culminate in a fully costumed performance at the Vincent Paul Black Box Theatre in Scripps Ranch at the end of the week. We offer camps for all ages from 3.5 to 14 years old!

For the Serious Dancer, the Summer is a great time to focus on artistic training without the distractions of the school year. Our Pre-Professional and Intermediate Intensive Programs, designed for serious dancers aged 10-19 years old, balance the high demand of classical ballet, with the nurturing and guidance necessary for long term success. Daily ballet, pointe and variations classes, with traditional character dance immerses aspiring dancers in the rich tradition that is classical ballet. Students are also exposed to weekly Jazz and Modern classes as versatility is a necessity in the current dance climate. Class sizes are kept small (12-14 or less) and guest and current faculty are selected for their technical knowledge and experience as much as their personality and ability to nurture the best in students as dancers and individuals.

Summer is coming and we're looking forward to the beautiful San Diego weather and studios full of excited, young artists!

"Best of Annie" Workshop Performances Make Us Proud!

Cast Mates After A Performance of "An Annie Review"

It was a semester of exciting change and incredible growth for us in the Musical Theatre Department as we all came together and gave audiences something to smile about! Over the course of two busy weekends we produced 14 performances of "The Best of Annie" featuring wonderfully talented students ranging from ages 5-15. And boy did we all learn a lot! I joined our students back in September, and was exceptionally proud of their rise and dedication through out the workshop process.

It is truly inspirational to see the workshop environment cultivate a love for the arts and a passion for performing in each of these young minds.

I am tremendously excited to take what we all learned from the experience and bring that energy into our new workshop of the "Wicked of Oz". The workshop will take every one's favorite moments from "Wicked," "The Wiz" and "The Wizard of Oz" and combine them all into one showstopping performance! Dorothy and all of her friends will light up the stage for what is sure to be one of most memorable workshop experiences to date! Performances will be held in June and it isn't too late to sign up and join the fun!
