Question
hi,
I'm 16 and I was accepted for both abt summer intensive and sab summer intensive. I don't know wich school offers the best summer program. could you help me?
Thanks.
Hi Laetitia. There probably isn't "a best" between the two schools. ABT trains toward a broad range of classical ballet choreography that ballet dancers are required to learn, and SAB emphasizes training toward George Balanchine's choreography. Not that it particularly excludes other classical or modern ballet dance styles.
If you have a love for Balanchine's works, go to SAB. If you love ballet in general, ABT is excellent.
I think you would do well at either school. Congratulations for being accepted - have a wonderful summer!
All the best, Dianne

Expertise
I can answer questions about ballet positions, ballet movements and ballet technique, pointe shoes and pre pointe exercise, mens training, ballet diet, general health issues related to dance, artistry, performance, modern dance, rehabilitation from injuries, and teaching ballet. I have taught ballet, choreographed, produced and directed dance companies. For any answers related to health questions I will offer my experience, and give references to information, but I also automatically include "see a professional".
