From the reviews

BBSI was exceptional for my foundational partnering training. It also broadened my knowledge of variations in many ballet repertoires. This is speaking for just my experience in the ladies program.

★★★★★ — Genesis, Aug 2025

I’m a BBSI alumni of 2 years, who now dances with the Atlanta Ballet, and am close friends with the people that run this organization. From first hand experience: This program is a marvelous time for young men in the ballet community to find fellowship and top tier training by high level professional and ex…

★★★★★ — Paxton, Aug 2025

My daughter loves the BBSI, especially partnering, and has been attending every year. This year, my son and my other daughter also participated for the first time. The teachers were all wonderful, and every class was very fulfilling and fun. I am grateful to BBSI for giving my kids this opportunity.

★★★★★ — 福澤, Aug 2025

To say BBSI is a wonderful experience is an understatement. My son has been attending BBSI since the summer of 2021. When you arrive, for us, it was like seeing a unicorn. He came from training at a small local school where he was one of two boys.

Your first ballet class at Boys Ballet Summer Intensive

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
