Dance Institute's 4 week summer session is planned in the phenomenal new state-of- the art studios in Guzzetta Hall. Schedules include classes for children ages 3-7 in pre-ballet, children ages 8 -18 in the pre-professional levels, and adults in the outstanding adult non-credit evening program.

The academic year professional faculty of Dance Institute (D.I.) will be joined by many guest master teachers to provide the community with an invigorating, challenging and inspiring month of dance. With the expansiveness of the new Guzzetta Hall facility, D.I. is fortunate to have the ability to offer a full range of classes, teachers, and styles. Students will study the nuances of classical ballet, pointe, modern, jazz, hip-hop, tap, ballroom, and both classical and modern repertoire. Summer brings a wonderful opportunity for students to study dance in a more focused, concentrated, manner. Without the rigorous demands of their academic schools and other activities, students can gain deeper understanding, strength, and dance technique in the summer. Due to the accelerated schedule of our 4-week summer session, the students' progress is noticeably visible, improving technically while gaining self-confidence, pride, and artistic pleasure. They also have fun while developing meaningful new friendships.
