Join us for a week of fun and training for adults of all levels and don’t miss this opportunity to perform in the Vermont famous Farm to Ballet Project!

Located in beautiful central VT, close to locally produced food, craft drinks and B&B’s nestled in the picturesque Green Mountains, the Ballet Vermont studio is designed specifically for adult dancers. We foster a body positive supportive environment and our classes prioritize proper alignment and mechanics to keep adult bodies moving with strength and confidence. 
​
The program will include daily classes in: wellness, ballet and repertoire/rehearsals as well as weekly pointe and contemporary classes. This is an opportunity for in depth training that complements rehearsing repertoire.   There will also be an (optional) opportunity to perform with the popular Farm to Ballet Project (F2B) at the end of the week. F2B is a full length story ballet made up of works from the classical canon and repurposed to tell a farm story. F2B is performed across Vermont to thousands of audience members each summer.  This is a unique chance to learn and perform roles from popular ballets like Swan Lake, Giselle, Sleeping Beauty, Coppelia and more. The show is performed at farm venues around Vermont and raises funds for on-farm regenerative projects. Learn more about the Farm to Ballet Project here and learn more about our dancers here.
