Berks Ballet Theatre Conservatory of Dance will offer you the best Berks County has to offer in the way of dance. With Summer of Dance, we offer something for everyone — we have a week-long summer camp for ages 2 – 4, two-week summer sessions for ages 3 – 9 and a 4 week intensive for dancers 9 – 19 years old looking to push themselves to the next level.

Our faculty is comprised of the best teachers in the area with a combined experience of 40+ years teaching. We pride ourselves in teaching an age-appropriate syllabus and molding our students into the best dancers they can be — always striving for them to push beyond their limits inside and outside the studio.

Our facilities are located on the 4th floor of a thriving arts community — spanning over 4000 sqft — we have 3 beautiful light-filled studios with a large waiting area and dressing room.

Once our dancers reach a certain age/level we encourage them to audition for and attend summer intensives outside of what we offer. Over the last several years many of our older dancers have been accepted to and attended some of the top summer training programs in the world — American Ballet Theatre, Royal Ballet of London, Miami City Ballet, Ballet West, Charlotte Ballet, University of Utah — with scholarships being offered to many of these schools.  This is a testament to their training as well as their drive to push to the next level.

Summer is the perfect time to take your dance training to next level and to experience something new! For our students’ ages 3 – 9, we want to help them retain all they have learned throughout the year and push them to the next level. Our Young Dancers’ Summer Session is designed specifically for this. It’s 12 classes broken up over 3 sessions, we encourage you to attend all three sessions, but you have the freedom to take one or two based on your schedule. Each session will end with a highlight of what they worked on that session.

Do you have a 2 – 4-year-old who loves to play dress up as a princess? Then our Princess Ballerina Camp is ideal for your little one. A week-long camp based in ballet, story time, dress up and fun! June 25 – 29 | 10:00 – 11:30am

BBTCD’s Professional Dance Experience is a 4 week intensive for dancers 9 – 19 years old. Over the four weeks, the dancers will work with guest faculty as well as conservatory faculty on ballet, pointe, pre-pointe, jazz, modern, contemporary, classical variations, choreography, and conditioning. Summer allows us to work for longer periods of time and focus in on areas that need to be strengthened and taken to the next level. The freedom of time allows us to incorporate different styles, techniques and cross training into the schedule.

For non-conservatory students, you can take 1,2,3 or 4 weeks — for conservatory students in Ballet 2 and up we strongly encourage you to take 2 weeks and BBT Company members are required to take all 4 weeks.
