2024 Summer Programs

 
 

Join Ballet Academy of Silicon Valley’s summer programs for the 2024 season! We offer sessions for all ages and experience levels. For younger dancers, our storybook camps are a wonderful opportunity to break up the summer months by getting some exercise and engaging their imagination! Our ballet intensives will give experienced dancers a way to keep up the strength and skills needed for the upcoming dance season.

We recommend continued dance training throughout summer for our advancing dancers.  Time spent away reduces flexibility and strength.  We suggest taking the full summer session to stay on track for the fall and be ready for performance season!
