Summer Intensive is a program of serious study in a warm and companionable atmosphere. The faculty, led by Artistic Director Graham Lustig, provides caring and careful instruction conducive to technical and artistic progress. In seeking to maintain a feeling of community, ARB’s Princeton Ballet School purposely limits the number of students in class.
