Prima Tesh and Kristin Baylis have been selected to attend the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive in New York City. The Summer Intensive Program is a 6-week training program for pre-professional students, ages 16-25, with a minimum of three years of consistent training in ballet and modern. Students are selected from auditions that are conducted all over the world. In 1982, The Ailey School and its programs received accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Dance.
The program is structured to advance the technical skills of our students in a wide variety of techniques. Students take 12-15 technique and workshop classes weekly from our core curriculum which includes a daily ballet class and a daily class of Horton and/or Graham-based modern. All students are evaluated in placement classes at the beginning of the program to determine the proper level in each technique.
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre has gone on to perform for an estimated 23 million people in 48 states and in 71 countries on six continents, including two historic residencies in South Africa. The company has earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed international ambassadors of American culture, promoting the uniqueness of the African-American cultural experience and the preservation and enrichment of the American modern dance.
