Intended for advanced dancers ages 14-19. Dancers train 6 days per week at TBTS-Dallas with a focus in classical technique, pointe, variations, and modern dance. They will have the opportunity to audition for the Dallas School Ensemble, which performs throughout the Metroplex.
Classes and rehearsals are led by TBT School Faculty and Artistic Staff, along with guest artists, giving dancers the unique opportunity to work with TBT’s esteemed Artistic Staff — including Artistic Director Tim O’Keefe and Artistic Director Laureate Ben Stevenson, O.B.E.
The program curriculum includes dedicated time for schoolwork to help students balance their academic and dance studies. TBTS does not provide housing for out of town students but will offer recommendations for local apartment complexes and roommates. Students who have not completed high school are expected to complete their formal academic education.
Incoming Studio Training Company and Professional Training Division dancers are encouraged to attend the TBT Summer Intensive.
