The School of Evansville Ballet's summer intensive is designed to give serious dancers, age 12 years and older, an opportunity to train under the direction of Mark Bush and guest artists in a professional yet nurturing environment. The focus is on classical ballet technique, pointe, and variations supplemented by modern, contemporary, and other classes. Students will enjoy a rigorous schedule, dancing 6-8 hours per day. Those that attend all 4 weeks will showcase their progress in an end of program performance.

I learned and improved so much in my technique and artistry this year at Director's Cut. It is a one of a kind program; Mr. Bush and the professionals that come in and teach are such amazing dancers and people. Their passion for dance motivates the students to strive for excellence. Having also attended a summer intensive in NYC, I can say that Director's Cut is outstanding, incredibly intense, and unparalleled! That's why I have attended it three years in a row, not missing a single day! If you like to work hard in an uplifting environment, then I really recommend Director's Cut to anyone wanting to achieve amazing and unmistakable results.
