Summer Intensive 2026: Key Details
The AMB Summer Intensive runs from June 8–26, with a one-week option available for June 8–13. Younger dancers can join the Junior Intensive, designed for ages 10–13, which takes place from June 22–26.
Participants in the full three-week program dive deep into ballet, pointe, variations, jazz, modern, contemporary, and repertory, training six days per week. The Junior Intensive offers a one-week intensive experience tailored to younger dancers.
Both programs culminate in a final-day performance in the Hoff Center’s state-of-the-art theater, giving dancers the chance to showcase their growth and talent.
Students 12 and up may choose to live on a college campus in the Omaha metro area, supervised by adult resident advisors and AMB professional dancers. Transportation to the Hoff Center and weekend activities are provided.
