MoBBallet Symposium on the Hill 2025 Ballet Intensive APP

Symposium on the Hill Application - Ballet Intensive August 3-9th

Ballet Intensive for Intermediate and Advanced Dancers APPLICATION Our intermediate and advanced ballet intensive centers Blackness both in our students and faculty. Participants will not only have the opportunity to learn from our elite and diverse faculty, but also to truly connect with them as they learn about (Black) ballet history, discuss body image and aesthetics, and discuss training and higher education. Our Advanced track is designed to support dancers on the cusp of entering the professional realm by pairing them with a personal mentor who will provide individualized coaching, feedback, and mentorship, both in and outside of the studio. 1:1 Mentoring Originally designed as a preparatory program for advanced students on the cusp of beginning their professional careers in addition to those in second companies, apprentices or in their first year of corps de ballet, MoBBallet Symposium 1:1 mentoring makes our program unique. All advanced dancers are intentionally paired with a personal mentor and coach for the week. Mentors are assigned based on their goals, aspirations, strengths and weaknesses shared on their applications. Ageless Intermediate Dancers Our levels are determined by skill not age, and since we know that some dancers come to dance, and specifically ballet later we don’t think age should be a barrier, therefore there is no cut age cut off for our intermediate level. We have found that by creating an environment that sees value and potential in all participants, and honors the process, and respects the desire to learn allows for a broader wider range of dance students to share in the experience and contribute whether through movement or by sharing their perspectives in our personal development sessions. Additionally it creates a beautiful environment of support and caring within the cohort Our intermediate dancers receive group mentorship to support where they are in their dance training. Intermediate dancers receive group mentoring along with personal development classes
