The Intensive at Westover School in Middlebury, Connecticut is a full-time, live-in program, though commuters are welcome. Intensive ballet classes will dominate most of the students weekday time, however, lectures on Ballet History, Performance Skills, Musical Appreciation and Russian Studies will be held every weekday. On the weekends we will take excursions to museums, theme parks and local music and art festivals. Students will be chaperoned at all times and transportation will be provided by a reputable bus company. The Westover program balances an intensive ballet training program with outdoor activities and cultural enrichment.
