Aspen, Colorado
Ages 14 – 20, by audition or invitation only
Set in the stunning mountain town of Aspen, the 2026 Choreographic Workshop offers aspiring professional dancers the opportunity to train and perform in a company-style environment, surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty that only Colorado can offer.
After training rigorously during the Summer Intensive, students participating in the Choreographic Workshop will learn two new works culminating in a premiere performance in Theatre Aspen, a gorgeous theatre location in Aspen, Colorado.
Colorado Ballet Academy believes live performance is where artistic and technical growth happens. New works and classical repertoire will be choreographed, set, and tailored to the students' ability and talent while pushing their boundaries.
All students in the Choreographic Workshop will have the opportunity to be considered for CBA's Pre-Professional Division and possible Trainee and Colorado Ballet Studio Company positions.
Classes from Monday, July 13 to Wednesday, July 22 will run from 9:30am-3:30pm. Sunday, July 19 will be an excursion day out in Aspen. The Choreographic Workshop Performance will occur on Wednesday, July 22.
