Don Quixote Summer Intensive 2020

The classical ballet Don Quixote sets the stage for the Southern California Dance Academy’s three-week summer workshop for intermediate to advanced dance students. The workshop serves those serious dance students who wish to participate in a summer workshop, but are not yet ready to leave home to participate in a nationally- recognized summer intensive.
Don Quixote is a famous ballet choreographed by Marius Petipa on music by Ludwig Minkus. As with most great classical ballets, Don Quixote contains many solo variations, pas de deux and groups dances that are showcased in summer intensives and competitions. This summer workshop will hold an opportunity for dedicated dance students to learn several of these variations by familiarizing themselves with one of ballet's great classics. The workshop culminates in a final performance at the Downey Theatre that will demonstrate the students' technical progress and artistic advancement.
