Oscar C. Hawkins, Artistic Director and Ballet Master of the Ballet Arts Academy at the Old Waldorf School (BAA) is currently scheduling auditions for local and regional dancers interested in attending the Academy’s 2011 Summer Intensive, July 5 to August 5.
The BAA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2005 by Jayne Stefani-Keating for the purpose of providing the community with a dance environment devoted exclusively to the study of Classical Ballet and its related arts following the Russian (Vaganova) method of training. Scholarships will be available for in-need students who wish to study but are unable to meet tuition requirements.
The younger dancer (ages 5-8) will participate in a 2-week, full-day program, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. beginning July 25, and going through August 5. The curriculum will include classes in ballet technique along with age appropriate ballet related arts and crafts activities.
