Two week-long sessions

June 2-6 and June 9-13, 2025 

 

The Turning Pointe Series is The Tallahassee Ballet’s Summer Intensive program designed to provide in-depth professional training opportunities for the experienced dancer. Faculty and staff of TTB – along with special guest artists and master teachers – provide a full range of excellent dance training. Class offerings vary each summer based on our guest artists and teachers. Potential classes may include ballet, repertoire, pointe, classical variations, contemporary, hip-hop, and body conditioning. Classes focus on proper alignment and posture of classical dance, with an emphasis on musicality, style, and expression.

 

No auditions are required for the Turning Pointe Series. Dancers are expected to follow appropriate ballet class etiquette, including arriving at the studio at least 15 minutes prior to class and being fully prepared to begin at the start of class. Female dancers must wear black leotards, pink or flesh-tone tights, and matching ballet slippers and/or pointe shoes (if appropriate). Hair must be in a neatly secured style. Males must wear white/black t-shirts, black tights, and black ballet slippers.
