Adult Intensive

Adult Intensive 2026.png

CBA is proud to offer its Adult Intensive as an exciting and fun way to build community among fellow dance lovers. Started in 2021, it is a unique experience designed for the advanced beginner to intermediate level dancer, though all levels are welcome to attend. The program engages students in a variety of technique classes, explores choreography, and provides the opportunity to learn, rehearse, and perform repertoire. Open to ages 18 and up, the Adult Intensive culminates in an informal, in-studio showing of work staged on or choreographed specifically for participants.

Classes for 2026 may include ballet technique, variations, modern, contemporary, musical theater, repertoire, conditioning, and pre-pointe/pointe and will be taught by CBA faculty. Ballet classes feature live piano accompaniment.

Space is limited.
