Interview with Upcoming Summer Intensive Student!

In just 2 weeks,the Central Florida Ballet Academy will host its annual Summer Intensive Dance Program (July 11-August 6). The CFB Summer Intensive is a formal program offering professional ballet training in the Russian Method as well as a variety of other dance styles. The program is designed to both challenge and encourage young dance students.

We sat down with Cassandra LeRette, a student of the CFB Academy, to find out her thoughts on the upcoming program.

What are you most looking forward to in the Summer Intensive Dance Program (SIDP)? Variations class.

Share your MOST memorable experience from a past SIDP: The 2007 SIDP performance, which was held at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center, and all of the weekend activities!

CFB Academy Students (Pictured Left to Right): Ashton Gordon, Lauren Withee, Cassandra LeRette

Which class are you excited to take (that you don’t take during the year) and why? Excited to take yoga/conditioning because of the fact that we can relax out bodies from all of the hard work we do!!

How do you prepare each day for class? Each day I prepare by eating a healthy breakfast, getting to class early and stretching and conditioning!

What is your ideal lunch during the program and how does it help you be energized for the rest of the day? My ideal lunch would be a banana, a sandwich, and a water bottle. It helps me be energized because it is healthy. No junk food will help with your health and/or your energy!

What do you expect to bring away from the SIDP? I hope to bring away more technique and experience with different styles of classes we don't have during the year.

Thank you Cassandra for a great interview! Check back soon when we catch up with Cassandra during Week One of the SIDP!
