Marat Daukayev School of Ballet’s Summer Intensive is designed to significantly strengthen students’ classical ballet technique through focused, daily training. Whether students aspire to pursue ballet professionally or wish to deepen their skills in a supportive environment, our summer program offers the invaluable experience of dancing every day—without the added academic pressures of the school year.
Summer 2026 Dates

Why 2-Week Sessions?
Ballet training requires consistency. Our 2-week sessions allow faculty to track progress, reinforce corrections, and guide students toward lasting technical improvement—something not possible in a single week of study. Dancers may enroll in one or multiple 2-week sessions, depending on their summer goals.

To ensure meaningful progress, the Summer Intensive is structured in 2-week Training Sessions, allowing dancers the time and consistency needed to absorb corrections, build strength, and refine technique. This format supports deeper learning, measurable improvement, and a cohesive studio experience.
We offer the highest quality Vaganova-based Russian classical ballet training, taught by dedicated faculty who encourage each student to reach their highest potential. Through the study of ballet, students develop physical coordination, grace, discipline, and self-confidence. Emphasis is placed on musicality, clarity of movement, and using classical technique as a vehicle for artistic expression.
Our smaller class sizes allow for individual attention and thoughtful correction, creating a nurturing yet disciplined atmosphere where dancers are known, supported, and challenged.
The Marat Daukayev School of Ballet Summer Intensive is ideal for students seeking focused training, technical refinement, and personal growth in a warm and encouraging studio environment.
Auditions
