Mini Ensemble Intensive
Audition Only- Our Mini Ensemble Summer Intensive is an exclusive training experience for dancers who audition and are selected for our Mini Ensemble for the 2026-2027 season. This focused intensive is designed to prepare dancers for the season through dedicated work in jazz and contemporary technique, conditioning, turns, leaps, and skills development. In addition to strengthening their technical foundation, dancers will build confidence, grow as performers, and develop strong team connections as they bond and train together in a supportive, high-energy environment.
