Summer Intensive @cbtacademystudents-blog - Tumblr Blog

I had an amazing 3 weeks at the CBT Summer Intensive. Even though I didn’t get to stay all 4 weeks, I had the best time in the 3 weeks. We did many different types of dancing, some were very different than last year. It was amazing to try new types of dancing. However one of my favorite teachers is leaving the company. His name is Mr. Jose, and he taught our ballet and pa de deux class. We will all miss him very much! I would like to thank all of my teachers in the summer for giving me such an amazing learning experience. I can’t wait for September so I can get back into dancing with CBT! - Mia Shaughnessy

It was the best summer intensive yet! But as always there will be more to come! Today we lost a great teacher and dancer, Jose Rivera, or Mr. Jose. Hopefully our adventures may cross paths again. ( By Next Summer!) Have fun in all your future endeavors fellow students (If this is the last we are seeing of you) of CBT’s summer intensive of ‘16! I would like to thank all of our teachers, Mr. Matthew, Mr. Jose, Mr. Steven, Ms. Sonia, Ms. Nanako, Ms. Marla, Ms. Julie, Ms. Kristin, Ms. Rebeccah, and Ms. Mila, for making it the best yet! Best Wishes -Sylvester

Some of our summer intensive students having fun

What I learned in CBT summer intensive.

This summer I was able to learn and break down fortifications 1,2 and 3 . Though there are many more to learn it's always good to start at the beginning. -Tyriq

Something I have learned

During this summer intensive we started to learn pas de duex which is partnering. We had to do a bunch of different dance steps on pointe while being partnered by the boys in our dance school. ~ Grace

What I learned this summer

During the summer intensive I learned to trust other's.

My favorite move of the week are suspended posses, no matter where you decide to put your arms they're always beautiful .

#favoritemovefriday

My favorite move of all time is turning its really fun!!! #favoritemovefriday

Something I've learned

In the CBT Summer Intensive camp, I’ve learned how to do pas de deux. Pas de deux is partnering between a boy and a girl, but the girls are on pointe. I have never tried that before so it was a very scary, and exciting experience. I think that pas de deux is very important because when you get older and do professional ballet dancing you will need to know how to work with a partner. - Mia

One of my favorite moves is definitely a stretch. I love to stretch to my right side in a la seconde because it gives a great stretch, improves your straddle, and can be done anywhere - Portia B

Something I've learned

Something new that I've learned in CBT summer intensive is pas de deux.This is partnering with a boy and and a girl, wearing pointe shoes.I had never done it before, it was a lot of fun, and scary putting your trust in another person.I always wanted to do this and I can't wait when I can professionally dance pas de deux. -Jasmine D

I've known about contact improv for a while now but ever since we've done more this summer. I've learned many new lifts and partnering movements that can just keep going and going.

Something I Have Learned

Something I have learned this summer intensive at CBT is working with other people when you improv. This is important to me because this opens up my creativity and I'm not limited to my own mind and I get to learn more with multiple people's mind. -Fallon
