QUESTION: sorry, well the question waz about summer dance classes...we dont do any and neither do any other dance schools we've looked into, so what what should I do about that? also, we only have one boy in our entire school how am i supposed to do pas de deux before I audition for a company?

Answer
Hi Kiz. You will need training in pas de deux before you'll be ready to audition for a company. It sounds like you will have to travel to get more training.

"Applications are now open for The Australian Ballet School's 2011 Up Close programme. Open Masterclasses, Winter School, Summer School 2012, Health and Welfare Day, Step Up to the Barre and Public Access Day. To download an application form click HERE

That was the only school listed under international summer intensives, which I found here:

I hope there are possibilities for you to continue training!
