Announces Auditions for the

2011 Summer Intensive Dance Program

 Orlando Auditions: January 29, 2011 & February 26, 2011

THE COMPANY

 Led by acclaimed Director and Choreographer, Vasile Petrutiu, the company’s mission is service through dance.  The Central Florida Ballet has received international recognition from CNN Headlines News, USA Today, the Southeast Tourism Society for its innovative, pyrotechnic “The Nutcracker”.  Its original production of “9/11 An American Moment” was also recognized by the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. In 2007, Petrutiu inaugurated the World Ballet Competition, which each year awards over $100,000 in cash prizes and scholarships. In 2010, the WBC International Job Fair and Master Class Workshop were added due to the competition’s great success.

THE CENTRAL FLORIDA BALLET: Summer Intensive

Central Florida Ballet offers professional ballet training in the Russian Method and its program is designed to both challenge and encourage young dance students. Classes are held in Central Florida Ballet’s studios, which are equipped with sprung flooring. Students are placed in ballet groups by age and ability.

Depending on their level, students may expect 3 to 7 hours of dance each day (except weekends). Students enrolled in the Summer Program make vast improvements in their dancing abilities and are well prepared for the Fall Semester.

 

Curriculum

The summer program offers intensive study in ballet, pointe, variations, modern, jazz and partnering. Instruction in Pilates, character, hip-hop, lyrical and musical theatre is also offered among seminars in choreography and acting for dancers along with studies in dance-related topics including dance history, music theory, injury prevention and nutrition. 

 

End of Session Demonstration

A Student Demonstration will be given at the end of the session for all students participating in the final three weeks (final two weeks for CFBA students).

 

Chaperones and Scholarships

Instructors and/or parents of enrolled students may apply to serve as hotel and excursion chaperones thereby ‘earning’ free hotel housing. Work-study scholarships are available to enrolled dancers 18 years of age and older. These chaperones assist in classes as well as serving as excursion guides and hotel chaperones. A limited number of partial scholarships are available to students based on a combination of merit and need. 

 

Housing

A room and board arrangement may be available for $300/week with a local host family whose child also attends the Central Florida Ballet Summer Intensive. 

We look forward to seeing you on January 29, 2011 for the Orlando Audition of the 2011 Summer Intensive Dance Program.
