Daily schedule

The average daily schedule will allow for technique, special intensive classes and rehearsal, while still allowing time to explore picturesque Italy. Here is the average day:

  • Grab a cappuccino and meet us in the space to stretch, chat, and meet new friends!

  • Technique class begins at 9:30, with one teacher leading, and other faculty providing assisting so that EVERYONE receives attention, corrections, and positive support!

  • This block will be from 11 - 12

    Course rotations to include men’s class, variations, pointe and stretch. Women will be included in Men’s class, and Men will be joining us for pointe!

    (If you are not en pointe yet, you are more than welcome to take class in flat shoes or demi-pointe shoes!)

  • Class form 1 - 2

    This block will be used to practice the skill of partnering, but also to rehearse the portions of the show that will require couples.

  • Block is from 2 - 5

    Rehearsals will be done in tandem, according to a schedule that will be posted in the participant file in Google Drive

  • Dancers will be allowed to contact the faculty and request additional private lessons with the faculty from 5 - 8PM. (Not included in price of participation.)

  • Apertivo, beach time, gelato with friends! It’s a ballet vacation!
