Summer Maintenance Classes

June and August 2025
Ages 10-21
Drop-in classes, no audition required

Maintain your training this summer at School of Philadelphia Ballet! Our Summer Maintenance Class series aims to help dancers maintain their current level of technique, strength, and flexibility during periods when they are not actively and intensely training. Classes are available on a drop-in basis; advanced registration is recommended to confirm your spot.

Maintenance classes are available for two age groups:
Ages 10-13: 5:00-6:30 PM (1.5 hour class)
Ages 14-21: 5:00-7:00 PM (2 hour class)

A typical maintenance class includes:

• A thorough barre warm-up focusing on proper alignment and technique
• Center work with basic combinations and exercises that reinforce fundamental ballet principles
• Stretching and conditioning exercises to maintain flexibility and strength

The pace of a maintenance class is generally more moderate than most intensive training classes but still provides enough challenge to keep muscles conditioned and technique sharp. These classes help prevent the loss of ballet-specific muscle memory and maintain the dancer’s connection to their artistry.
