Ballet 5:8's classical ballet focused Summer Intensive and Collegiate Intensive are opportunities for dancers to make technical gains, increase artistry, explore choreography, and deepen their faith – all in a uniquely nurturing environment where students thrive.

Classes take place inside Ballet 5:8’s newly renovated 12,000 square foot building in Orland Park, IL, about a 35-minute drive from downtown Chicago. Classical ballet technique is informed by Ballet 5:8’s Vaganova style, stressing proper placement, strength and flexibility, while also incorporating the contemporary sensibilities required in today’s athletic, high-energy professional dance field. An intensive class and rehearsal schedule in each program gives dancers true opportunities for growth, while Ballet 5:8’s commitment to teaching in light of the health of the entire dancer – mind and body – allows students to thrive. Each program invites dancers to explore Ballet 5:8’s passion for grace-filled conversation of life and faith through Bible study, small group discussion and the stories told in Ballet 5:8’s diverse repertoire.

“I love the variation of classes, times for connection, and seminars offered. Ballet 5:8 truly cares about all aspects of the dancer; mind, soul, and body!”
