VAM SUMMER BALLET & PARTNERING INTENSIVE 2025
WITH SPECIAL GUEST – GARY FRANCO
“DYNAMIC DUOS”
TECHNIQUE – CONNECTION – PERFORMANCE
JULY 14-18, 2025
Join us for a dynamic one-week ballet intensive designed to deepen your technical foundation while exploring the art of partnering and contemporary movement. This immersive program is structured in two daily blocks:
Morning Sessions focus on refining classical ballet technique and expanding your movement vocabulary through contemporary technique classes. Dancers will also be introduced to the fundamentals of contact improvisation, fostering connection, trust, and spatial awareness.
Afternoon/Evening Sessions center on classical pas de deux partnering, supported by additional ballet technique classes. Dancers will work on traditional partnering skills including weight-sharing, lifts, and coordination, with a strong emphasis on musicality and communication.
The intensive culminates in an informal presentation at the end of the week, giving dancers the opportunity to share their growth, artistry, and connection in a supportive setting.
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your partnering skills, explore contemporary movement, or enhance your stage presence, this program offers a focused and inspiring environment for dancers ready to elevate their craft.
