Leap into the new year with Nashville Ballet’s Form & Focus Winter Intensive, an immersive training experience for dedicated dancers ages 15+ looking to strengthen their technique, refine their artistry, and prepare for the upcoming competition and audition season.

With limited enrollment, dancers will work closely with Nashville Ballet’s artistic staff and distinguished faculty in a focused training environment. A special emphasis will be placed on Grande Pas de Deux, from entrance to coda, giving dancers the opportunity to challenge their range and stamina while exploring iconic repertoire and learning the Pas de Dos & Pas de Don’ts of classical partnering.

With expert instruction and opportunities for individualized coaching, students will develop strength, precision, musicality, and confidence while taking their training to the next level.

Faculty will include Dmitri Kulev, Jennifer Kulev, Nick Mullikin, and additional distinguished faculty to be announced.

Secure your spot in our programs! Dancers who participate in the Winter Intensive are automatically considered for our year-long training programs such as our Pre-Professional Division, Professional Training Division, and our Second Company. Students that participate in Winter Intensive are also welcome to attend the Summer Intensive without an additional audition.
