Evergreen City Ballet (ECB) offers an affordable, high-quality training experience for students seeking a rigorous pre-professional approach to improve their technical and artistic abilities in a safe and welcoming environment. Past guest faculty includes former and professional dancers from Pacific Northwest Ballet, Oregon Ballet Theatre, Joffrey Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Whim W’him, National Ballet of Caracas and ECB faculty.
This summer, ECB is offering three-week, two-week and one-week Summer Intensive options for students looking to complement their training with a variety of options. Students will be encouraged to progress rapidly in their training sessions and increase their abilities. We highly recommend students to plan for complete sessions for a more comprehensive and rewarding experience. Our summer intensive has two levels—advanced and intermediate—and is open to ages 13 and older. Pre-intermediate level dancers are ages 9 to 12.
