The Ballet Caliente Summer Intensive guides students in their ballet technical skills as well as other dance forms that compliment a ballet artist. The program is held from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. at Ballet Caliente's beautiful studio in California, Maryland. Unlike big company intensives, our summer students are exposed to exceptional individual attention and corrections. This program offers unparalleled training by a distinguished staff of Ballet Caliente instructors and well-known in-state and out-of-state guest teachers.
