Dancers must be ages 9 to 11 during the summer program. Also, no pointe experience is required for female dancers.

Program Description

The focus of the junior intensive is for serious young dancers to build a solid foundation in ballet technique and to educate them in a variety of dance-related topics. The Maple Conservatory faculty provide unparalleled instruction, while remaining sensitive to the developmental needs of a younger dancer and allowing them to flourish in a professional, nurturing environment.
