2023 Summer Youth Ballet Programs & Camps
OBT School is excited to continue our Junior Intensive, Pre-Pointe & Conditioning Workshop, and summer session of Primary Ballet. In addition to our typical offerings, we are thrilled to introduce Summer Camps!

This intensive is designed for young dancers ages 8 and up who are eager to immerse themselves in dance and take their ballet training to the next level. Each day will include ballet technique classes to develop strong foundations and facilitate a deeper understanding of the art form. Students will also participate in supplemental classes that may include ballet repertory, pointe (Level 3), theater performance, Irish dance, jazz, flamenco, character, hip hop, contemporary dance, improvisation, and more!
Level 1 is open to dancers 8 years and older with 0-2 years of ballet training. Level 2 is open to dancers 9 years and older with 2 or more years of consistent ballet training. Level 3 is open to dancers 11 years and older with 3 or more years of consistent ballet training. OBT School students should register based on their current level placement.
During the Junior Intensive, Level 3 students who are ready for pointe can work more effectively to gain foundational beginning pointe strength. Participation on pointe is at the discretion of the School Director. Pre-pointe will be offered to those Level 3 students needing to work on strength building.
Dancers who are 10 years and older and in Level 3 of the Junior Intensive, may also register to our Pre-Pointe/Pointe Workshop (see below).
Students must show proof of vaccination. If you have questions on placement, e-mail us at schoolofobt@obt.org.
Pre-Pointe/Pointe & Conditioning Workshop
Ages 10+ | August 7 – August 11, 2023
Monday-Friday @ 3:30 PM-6:30PM
Cost: $281.25
Our one-week specialty Pre-Pointe/Pointe workshop is geared to strengthen dancers who are developing pre-pointe and pointe skills. Dancers age 10 years and older with a minimum of two years of ballet training and students currently enrolled in Level 2 or 3 at OBT School are eligible for this workshop. Participation on pointe is at the discretion of the School Director. Pre-pointe will be offered in place of pointe for those needing to work on strength building.
Students will be placed in one of two cohorts for the last hour of the workshop focusing on either pointe or pre-pointe work.
Participation in this program does not guarantee promotion to pointe in the Annual Session. OBT School is committed to putting students on pointe only when they are at a strong and healthy stage in their development and training.
