5-Week Summer Session Classes

Ages 11 and up

This summer, we're committed to helping our dancers grow WITHOUT burning out. Each of our workshops and intensives is designed with intention — offering high-quality training, expert feedback, and real artistic development in formats that honor the need for rest, balance, and joy.

From younger dancers discovering the thrill of performance to advanced artists refining their craft, our summer programming reflects the principles we believe in: purposeful training, sustainable growth, and a community that lifts each other up. Because the best dancers aren't the ones who train the hardest — they're the ones who train the smartest.

All of the below options are geared towards our students who took Advanced Intermediate, Foundations, Junior Company, Senior Prep, Apprentice or Senior Company during the 2025-2026 season or (if you’re new to Thrive) at least 11 years old with several years of dance or movement experience. If you’re unsure about your dancer’s placement, please don’t hesitate to reach out and we’ll be glad to help find the right fit for your family!

Hamilton Hype Workshop (Advanced) | June 24-25, 2026

  • June 24-25, 2026 | 4:00 - 6:30 pm daily

    This is where technique meets artistry, and you level up your performance game. Over two intensive evenings, you'll work with professional guest artists who will push your boundaries and unlock new dimensions in your dancing.

    You'll master musical theater techniques that make every movement meaningful — acting through dance, deep character work, and emotional storytelling that gives you chills. You'll explore authentic hip hop foundations: groove, musicality, and the kind of style that makes people stop and watch. And you'll walk away with performance quality that translates to ANY stage, ANY style, ANY moment you step into the spotlight.

    This isn't just about learning choreography — it's about becoming the kind of dancer who commands attention, tells stories that matter, and brings artistry to everything you do. Plus, you're entered to win 2 tickets to see Hamilton live.

Strong Ground Intensive | July 20-24, 2026

  • July 20-24, 2026 | 8:30 am - 12:30 pm daily

    We know summer is supposed to include rest — and this intensive honors that. Instead of overwhelming you with endless hours, Strong Ground offers focused, high-quality training designed to keep your technique sharp, your body healthy, and your love of dance intact.

    Over five mornings, you'll train with intention, learn from experienced faculty, and grow alongside dancers who care about the same things you do: excellence, community, and showing up for yourself.

    What to Expect:

    • Daily technique classes across ballet, hip hop, tap, jazz, contemporary, musical theater, modern and more

    • Repertory and choreography that challenges your artistry

    • Conditioning and cross-training for strength and injury prevention

    • Workshops on topics like: why properly fueling your body is important, self-defense, yoga for dancers, how to prioritize rest with a packed schedule and more

    • Personalized feedback from faculty who know and care about your growth

    • A community of dancers who push each other to be better

    • We’ll end the week with a fun surprise event and a special treat for each dancer!

    Why Strong Ground?
    This intensive isn't about cramming in as many hours as possible — it's about training smart. You'll leave feeling stronger, more confident, and more prepared for the season ahead, with a deeper understanding of your body, your artistry, and what you're capable of. This is for dancers who want to stay strong and keep growing over the summer — without sacrificing rest, balance, or joy.

    What makes a strong ballet dancer? Come find out. Over two focused mornings, you'll dive deep into some of the the “P's” of ballet — partnering, promenades, pirouettes and penches and more!

    This isn't your typical class. Working with guest teachers and Thrive favorites, you'll get specific, personalized feedback designed just for YOU. You'll have time to explore the details we rarely get to unpack in regular class: the subtle mechanics, the artistry, the refinement that takes your dancing from good to exceptional.

    Whether you're looking to strengthen your foundation, break through a plateau, or simply fall more in love with ballet, this workshop gives you the space and attention to really grow.
