We are proud to offer summer students a complete summer curriculum taught by distinguished members of St. Louis Ballet School and Saint Louis Ballet. We combine the strong ballet teachings that St. Louis Ballet School is known for along with other platforms of dance to offer a well-rounded dance program for students of all these age groups.

Younger levels (Levels 2-3) will take 3 days a week, giving them the same quality program but within a schedule more suitable for their ages. This age group is offered a three week program.
Levels 4–8 take 6 days a week and 16 classes each week. With up to three weeks offered for these higher levels, the programs are age appropriate, beneficial and fun.

Summer tuition fees are affordable which makes families feel more comfortable allowing students to take the entire program. Students benefit the most by taking the full program and are that much more ready for classes in the fall.
is dance students including classes taught in Ballet Technique, Pointe, Variations Class, Modern, Character and Jazz.

Housing

Saint Louis Ballet School's Summer Program offers a very safe housing program by providing host families for students who are coming from out of town and need housing.

Host Families Provide:
- 24 hour supervision through living with the host family

- 3 meals a day, (if students want to buy lunch separately they need to bring extra money in which they can walk to Subway during lunch a few stores down with at least 2 other students)

- Transportation to and from the studio

- We only choose Saint Louis Ballet School families as host families and we try to match students with a family who has a child of around the same age to make things more fun for them.

- Extracurricular activites are sometimes planned by the family so spending money should be brought with the child

- Cost of the Host Family Program TBA

This is a very limited program, therefore students requiring housing through this program should notify our office upon registration for the Summer Dance Program that they are needing housing.

Call 636-537-1998 to inform the office of your needs.
