Summer Program Students Train with Renowned Guest Artists

During our Summer Program students had the invaluable opportunity to train with several special guest artists including Christina Johnson, James Kudelka, John Lam, and Jera Wolfe. The artists worked with the students over a series of classes, each bringing their individual teaching style and a different focus to their classes. Learning from these renowned guest artists broadens the horizons of the young dancers as they experience new teaching techniques and continue to develop their own personal artistry.

Jera Wolfe was also on campus, rehearsing his original work Arise in the Betty Oliphant Theatre with our Professional Ballet Program students. 

Our Summer Program is an intensive ballet training program that takes place over four weeks and also serves as the second stage of auditions for NBS’ full-time Professional Ballet-Academic Program or Company Life Program. The Summer Program attracts dancers form across Canada and around the world, making for a vibrant summer experience for both new and returning NBS students!
