Join us for the Autumn Intensive 2026, where we explore the speed, musicality, and clean classical lines associated with George Balanchine’s style, through original choreography inspired by Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings. Watch Balanchine's Serenade here >>.
Experience the captivating music by Tchaikovsky that brings these graceful movements to life, as each note resonates with the beauty and elegance of the performance. Feel the synchronicity and vulnerability, conveying a range of emotions from grace to longing.
This intensive promises to elevate your skills and improve your technique and artistry, and give you a sense of rehearsing with other adult dancers.

• Balanchine‑style technique: pliés, quick footwork, and dynamic use of space
• Phrasing and musicality with Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings
• Original combinations that echo the Serenade's aesthetic
• Performance quality and clean, efficient movement
