ArtéBallét®— Europe’s Boutique Advanced Summer Ballet Intensive

Yes. Admission to the Advanced/Pre-Professional Program is selective. Dancers are reviewed through their submitted application, photos, and video materials to ensure that the level, pace, and artistic environment are the right fit.

The Advanced level is designed for advanced, pre-professional, and professional dancers training toward, or already working at, a professional standard. It is intended for dancers with a strong classical foundation, technical clarity, artistic maturity, and the focus required for an intensive training environment.

The Advanced/Pre-Professional Program is generally intended for dancers aged 14/15 and above. Exceptionally strong younger dancers may be considered if their technical level, maturity, and training experience align with the program.

Applicants are asked to submit a headshot, a first arabesque photo taken en profil, one additional dance photo of their choice, and a video showing barre, center work, and pointe work where applicable. Studio footage is perfectly suitable; clarity is more important than production quality.

For female-identifying dancers in the Advanced Program, secure pointe work is expected and should be clearly shown in the application video. Faculty reserves the right to advise against pointe work during the program if it is deemed unsafe or not appropriate for a dancer’s development at that moment.

Yes. Dancers may apply for one week or two weeks, depending on availability. However, two-week participants receive the fullest ArtéBallét experience and take part in the culminating theater presentation.

All two-week participants take part in the culminating theater presentation in Amsterdam. Alongside ensemble repertoire and choreographic work developed during the intensive, dancers may also have the opportunity to present classical variations, contemporary solos, or existing repertoire they have been refining outside of ArtéBallét.

Advanced groups are intentionally small and curated to preserve the level of individual attention that defines ArtéBallét. We generally admit approximately 10 to 14 dancers per Advanced group, occasionally 15 depending on the final balance and level mix.

Yes. Placement is carefully considered by the ArtéBallét team and may be adjusted if faculty feels another group better supports the dancer’s training, safety, and artistic development.

After acceptance, dancers receive official enrollment instructions and payment details. A place is secured only once the required registration and payment steps have been completed. Because places are limited, early registration is strongly advised.

Because group sizes are intentionally limited, registration may close before the official application deadline once capacity has been reached. Accepted dancers are encouraged to complete registration promptly to avoid losing their place.

Tuition, package details, installment options, scholarships, and additional fees are available on the Tuition & Fees page.

Private coaching, professional photoshoots, and physiotherapy appointments may be available by appointment, depending on package type and availability. Some services are included in selected packages, while others can be booked as add-ons.

ArtéBallét does not provide housing. Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation in Amsterdam. We recommend securing accommodation early, especially during the summer period.
