Leap into the new year with Nashville Ballet’s Form & Focus Winter Intensive, an immersive training experience for dedicated dancers ages 15+ looking to strengthen their technique, refine their artistry, and prepare for the upcoming competition and audition season.
Dancers work closely with Nashville Ballet’s artistic staff and distinguished faculty in a focused training environment. A special emphasis is placed on Grande Pas de Deux, from entrance to coda, giving dancers the opportunity to challenge their range and stamina while exploring iconic repertoire and learning the Pas de Dos & Pas de Don’ts of classical partnering.
With expert instruction and opportunities for individualized coaching, students develop strength, precision, musicality, and confidence while taking their training to the next level.
Faculty includes Dmitri Kulev, Jennifer Kulev, Nick Mullikin, and additional instructors to be announced.
Secure your spot!
Dancers who participate in this Winter Intensive are automatically considered for year-long training programs such as Nashville Ballet's Pre-Professional Division, Professional Training Division, and NB2, our second company. Participants are also welcome to attend our Summer Intensive without an additional audition.
Tuition:
