National Ballet Forum
July 18-22, 2011
National Ballet Forum is a five day event which provides students ages 12-21 the rare chance to study with a professional classical ballet faculty and to participate in the creation of a new ballet by a distinguished choreographer in a Company atmosphere. Students will perform the new ballet at Ballet Gala on Friday evening, for the entertainment of all workshop attendees and family members (for which there is no cost to attend).
Teachers and artistic directors may also attend to obtain a new work created by a recognized choreographer which can be added to their repertoire. However, teachers are not allowed to dance during class.
To assure individual attention, participants are divided into four Forums based on age and advancement. Class size is restricted to a maximum of 40 students. Two placement classes are held on Monday for all participants to allow the Choreographers the opportunity to observe the students prior to the choreography classes.
Five competitive scholarships are awarded to participants in the National Ballet Forum which will cover registration fees in the following year’s event.
