During July 2024, I was fortunate enough to be chosen among dancers from all around the world to attend the Dutch National Ballet Academy in Amsterdam for 2 weeks. I had the opportunity to study classical, contemporary, repertoire, pointe work and body conditioning and meet dancers from all around the world. I am grateful to say that I had the opportunity to learn from the incredible teachers at the academy, Dario Elia, Ana Jovic-Begovic, Michelle Jimenez and Lars van Cauwenbergh. I felt a huge improvement in my strength, technique, stamina, confidence, focus and performing skills after the two weeks of nonstop learning, spent at the school. This is definitely a summer intensive that I would recommend to other dancers and even one that I would want to attend again next summer.
