The 2014 Summer Intensive students have packed up and gone home, leaving the Bolender Center quiet until the Company Dancers return. The five-week-long program culminated in a student showcase on Friday, July 18th. The Summer Intensive 2014 faculty included many dancers from around the country and world; such as, Houston Ballet’s Simon Ball, American Ballet Theatre’s Sarah Lane, and Youth American Grand Prix judge Anna-Marie Holmes.
