We are pleased to welcome all classical dance students to the Cuban Ballet Program’s Summer Intensive. This special edition will be held at the prestigious studios of the Royal Ballet of Flanders, a landmark venue that, with its professional and avant-garde atmosphere, offers the ideal space for refining the technical and artistic skills of dancers.
The program is based on the renowned Cuban Ballet School method, famous for its technical excellence and holistic approach to the dancer’s artistic development. This system, characterized by its precision, discipline, and expressive capability, has trained some of the greatest dancers in the world. Through this method, students not only refine their technique but also develop a deeper understanding of the art of ballet as a whole.
The facilities at the Royal Ballet of Flanders are top-notch, with spacious and well-lit studios, equipped with professional floors that ensure a comfortable and safe experience during classes. The environment, perfectly designed for dance, inspires creativity and concentration, fostering learning and artistic growth. In addition, each session will be accompanied live by a pianist, creating a unique connection between music and movement, enriching the participants’ experience.
Our teaching team is composed of high-level dancers and certified instructors who use effective and passionate methodologies to guide students through their training process. The program includes comprehensive and dynamic training, with the addition of special guest instructors and surprises that will add a unique touch to the experience. Throughout the week, we strive to maintain impeccable discipline and organization, ensuring that each student can make the most of this opportunity.
To ensure the participants’ well-being, we offer fresh fruit during breaks to help maintain energy and focus. The facilities also feature spacious and comfortable changing rooms, bathrooms, and a welcoming environment that contributes to the comfort and satisfaction of everyone.
We invite you to join us for this intensive week of training, development, and artistic growth. We look forward to seeing you soon and sharing this exciting experience in such a prestigious setting!
