Ballet Forum Information Sheet

Students of the Ballet Forum will have Assigned Ballrooms.

The Ballet Forum is a 2-day ballet intensive workshop providing students ages 12-21 with a minimum of 2 years of ballet training. Your student will be able to study with a professional classical ballet faculty. Along with technique classes each day, two special performance pieces will be choreographed and taught by the distinguished ballet forum faculty in a ballet company atmosphere.

The pieces will be performed at the annual SADM Banquet on Saturday evening.

Participants are divided into two Forums based on age and advancement to ensure individual attention. The purpose of the placement class is to allow the Choreographers to observe the students before the choreography classes.

Attendance at the placement class and a rehearsal on Saturday at 4 pm is mandatory.

Final placement is reserved at the discretion of our Professional Ballet Faculty
