Intermediate Summer Intensive
A welcoming intensive ballet program, for every dedicated dancer ready to grow, refine, and perform.
27 July – 8 August, 2026
Set in the heart of one of Europe’s most inspiring cultural capitals, the ArtéBallét Intensive (AÉBI) welcomes intermediate-level vocational students and dedicated recreational dancers aged 12 to 70 to a three-day, one-week, or two-week summer program unlike any other.
Set in the heart of Amsterdam, the ArtéBallét Intensive (AÉBI) invites you to experience world-class ballet training in an intimate and inspiring atmosphere.
Our boutique summer program offers daily classes in ballet technique, classical variations, Limón technique, contemporary and jazz technique, and Prix de Lausanne repertoire. All are taught by an extraordinary faculty of principal dancers, prima ballerinas, and international masters from institutions such as the Prix de Lausanne, Dutch National Ballet, Hungarian National Ballet, Royal Ballet School, Vaganova Ballet Academy, and Nederlands Dans Theater. Nearly every class is accompanied by live music, creating a deeply immersive and artistic experience.
In addition, dancers participate in masterclasses on Nutrition and Dancer’s Health, and somatic practices such as Pilates and Yoga, designed to enhance strength, alignment, and overall well-being. The intensive concludes with an intimate theater demonstration performance where dancers share their growth and artistry on stage.
You will be welcomed into a warm and inclusive community that celebrates individuality and shared excellence. At AÉBI, every dancer, whether vocational or recreational, is guided personally toward technical refinement and artistic confidence.
Choose your experience: a two-week program, a one-week program, or a three-day immersion, and discover why dancers from across Europe and beyond call AÉBI their most inspiring summer yet.
