Beyond Technique Intermediate (BTI) is a two-week intensive for students in Ballet 3-6. BTI not only refines a dancer's classical technique, but also introduces performance-oriented skills including strategies for learning choreography, how to count and interpret music, and developing stage presence. Dancers will have daily class and then dive into rehearsals to learn new and creative choreography with advanced dancers from Ballet 8 acting as mentors for the younger students. The daily schedule for this program is Monday-Friday from 10:00am-2pm. This session culminates with a brief in-studio performance.

For non-BMS students, please email Brandon at bramey@balletmemphis.org for placement.

Our Beyond Technique Advanced intensive is for upper-level dancers. A one-of-a-kind immersion in living the life of a professional dancer, this unique experience is not only modeled on the daily life of our professionals but connects each student with professionals to help develop a more complete dancer. Students will foster their creativity, understand how best to work with their bodies, participate in small-group mentoring, learn hands-on the technical aspects of dancing in a theatre—and become better dancers! Participation on all days is mandatory. The daily schedule for this program will be Monday-Friday from 10:00am-5pm and a half day on the two Saturdays. There will be a final public performance on the last Friday.
