During the
summer the major metropolitan studios are over-crowded.
Burklyn Ballet Theatre gives the teachers from these programs
a chance to teach in the quiet beauty of Vermont, thus affording
our students a chance to study with them in smaller classes.
Teachers are chosen for their many different talents, including
their abilities, fine technique, new choreography, and innate
knowledge of the traditional classical works.
