Summer Intensive Programs Marat Daukayev 2008 Summer Session To print a copy of the 2008 Brochure go here. To print a copy of the 2008 registration form go here. The MDSB Summer Intensive Program is designed to rapidly advance the serious student in technique and performance ability. Class sizes are small and students receive individual attention and/or coaching at all levels. The program is open to students of the school from ages 7 to 18 years old. Applicants who are not students of the school are asked to take a placement class. (Please call the school for details.) The program offers classes in those dance forms most essential to students preparing for a professional career in ballet. The program runs for six weeks and culminates in an Open Class Showing. Students may take less than the full six weeks, but must attend at least the last four weeks if they wish to dance in the Open Class Showing. Kirov Academy Summer Session Auditions for the Kirov Academy Summer Session in Washington, D.C. were held at Dance Arts Academy on January 19, 2008. After the auditions several of our students were invited to attend this summers program. The program is designed for serious students of ballet ages 10 through 18, and consists of four to six hour classes, six days a week. There are two sessions: Technique Intensive: June 15 - July 5, and Performance Intensive: July 6 - July 27. For more information visit their website: www.ubacademy.org. |

Our Annual Nutcracker Performance Throughout the year, our students work hard to acquire classical ballet technique. In performance, they have the chance to express their love of dance for a live audience. Sharing Nutcracker is an exceptional experience for participants and audience alike, performed by beginning students who are 3 yrs old up to our advanced dancers at 18 years old. This is a wonderful way to introduce your family to one of the most beloved classical ballets of all time. The Marat Daukayev Ballet Theatre presented four performances of “The Nutcracker” on December 8th and 9th, at the Japan American Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. Marat danced Drosselmeyer in all performances and our guest artist, Evgueni Tourdies, danced the Prince. We will post new photos from the 2007 Performance shortly. Please check back in later. Go here for a slideshow of the 2006 Nutcracker. |
