Register Now for Metropolitan Ballet Academy Summer Intensive, July 6-August 14, 2015 and M3 = Math x Music x Movement Summer Enrichment Program, July 6-17, 2015

Metropolitan Ballet Academy (MBA), recognized by Pointe magazine as one of America’s top seven ballet studios, offers classical dance training by highly distinguished MBA faculty and guest artists in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. MBA Summer Intensive half-day classes for beginner and intermediate students will be held July 6-17 from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm. Full-day classes for intermediate and advanced students run July 20 through August 14 from 9:30 am to 3:30 or 4:00 pm, depending on class level. From July 13-17, students may “warm up” with a class dedicated to ballet technique and pointe from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Students may enroll in single or multiple weeks; tuition varies depending on class level and length of enrollment.

MBA’s Summer Intensive features M3 = Math x Music x Movement, a unique academic enrichment program for children ages 7 to 10, that may be taken exclusively or in addition to MBA dance classes. July 6-10, students who will enter second, third or fourth grade in September can enroll in Level 1 sessions from 9:00 to 11:00 am or 12:30 to 3:00 pm. Children who have completed Level 1 may enroll in Level 2, running at the same times from July 13-17. During M3 classes, children discover mathematical patterns through dance and music in a joyous and artistic venue. Cognitively engaged students actively explore body angles, dancing polygons, spatial arrays, twirling circles, jumping fractions, symmetric duets and much more through math, movement and music. This innovative course is taught by Janet Blenheim, a former professional dancer, Japan Fulbright Scholar, and K-5 Math Department Head at the Upper Dublin School District, which recently recognized Ms. Blenheim as its 2015 Teacher of the Year.
