Junior Camp
June 25 - July 6

Two-Week Program for dancers ages 8 - 12
Monday through Friday, 10:0am - 3:00pm

Junior Camp is a great opportunity for returning students to stay in shape and prepare for the upcoming school year. For students new to the Alabama Ballet's Royal Academy of Dance program, it's the perfect way to preview the syllabus, make new friends and even get to meet some of the teachers. Students need to bring a sack lunch each day.

Parents are invited to come for end of camp performance from
2:00 - 3:00pm on Friday, July 6.

For more information, please contact School Administrator Libba Owen at (205) 322-1874 or libbaowen@alabamaballet.org.


Tutus and Tiaras
Session I: July 23 - 27
Session II: July 30 - August 3
Session III: August 6 - 10

For future ballerinas ages 4 - 7
Monday through Friday, 10:00am - 2:00pm

Does your little one dance around the living room pretending to be a fairy princess? Is "Barbie Swan Lake" in heavy rotation at your house? Then send your child to Tutus & Tiaras at the Alabama Ballet. This year's ballet story will be The Sleeping Beauty. Children will learn the story of the ballet, decorate their own tutus, create scenery, and perform a dance inspired by the story. Tutus and Tiara's participants need to bring a sack lunch each day.

Parents and Guests are invited to join us on Friday at 1:00 for our ballet performance.

For more information, please contact School Administrator Libba Owen at (205) 322-1874 or libbaowen@alabamaballet.org.
