-THE AJKUN BALLET THEATRE'S SUMMER SEASON-
                                                        
YOUNG DANCERS SUMMER PROGRAM
  the unique opportunity to join a company
with dancers from all over the World.

July 21 throughout August 9, 2008
-EXPERIENCE THE LIFE OF A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY-

SUMMER PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY:

The program aims to inspire young dancers by combining a summer course
offered to 9-14 years old with our Company 's large scale production time.

Exposure to the life of a professional company in summer provides
young dancers with the opportunity to make a career choice when age is appropriate,
allowing children to continue education in their home communities.

Young dancers will naturally gain knowledge of Classroom & Rehearsal Etiquette
by observing and performing with a professional company,
while studying with an outstanding faculty in a professional, yet nurturing, environment.
PROGRAM INFORMATION:

The ideal candidate for this program is a serious young dancer, aged 9 to 14 years old,
who has achieved a basic level of ballet training.
Participation is available to a limited number of dancers  
on first come-first serve basis, without an audition.
NUMBER OF PLACES AVAILABLE IS DETERMINED BY REPERTORY PERFORMED BY THE COMPANY.
  
Our training concentrates in developing  well-rounded dancers,
with emphasis on classical ballet  technique.
The Ajkun’s methodology  focuses on preventing muscular skeletal injuries (MSI).  

TRAINING  is offered in ballet, pointe and repertory classes & rehearsals.
Lectures by Company Artists in Ballet Terminology, Dance History,
Pas de Deux (performed by Company's professional dancers) and Make up are also offered.
Young Dancers will experience the opportunity to assist to our Company's training,
and will interact with Company Dancers mentoring the program.
