Summer at the Ballet Center of Houston has been off to a great start. June 6-17 we hosted a summer intensive for students from our Levels 4-7 as well as a few guest students and many returning alumni. This summer we had the great pleasure of having Andrew Murphy and Sabrina Lenzi of the Houston Ballet conduct master classes, Keith Cross taught Jazz, Jane Weiner gave us great modern classes and our own Genie Lanfear and Barbara Le Gault also taught classes. Lizzie Keller, who was a former student of BCH, returned once again from Miami City Ballet to teach pointe classes. Isaac Sharrat came to us from Milwaukee Ballet to teach our boys as well as teach partnering classes to our advanced group. It was a wonderful two week intensive and the students learned and progressed so much.
BCH also offer a “Swan Lake” Camp for children 6-11 years old the following week. This was a ballet and arts workshop. The children had a wonder time with ballet teachers, Katie Koy and Lacey Flowers. Barbara Koy taught the art classes. Dancers made many art projects and even decorated pointe shoes.
Currently we are offering summer classes for students of all ages as well as adults. Our summer classes fur thru the end of July. Fall classes will begin on August 15, 2011. All interested students are welcome to register now before we fill up.
Happy Dancing!

Dear Students and Parents,
We are excited to announce our second annual summer ballet camp for students ages 7-11. The summer camp will take place June 20-24 with a theme that will follow the classical ballet, Swan Lake. Students will get the opportunity to practice ballet technique and learn and perform choreography from the Swan Lake ballet. Students will practice Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., with a short performance for family and friends on Friday afternoon.
In addition to ballet activities, the Swan Lake camp offers arts and crafts sessions where the students get to participate in fun and educational arts projects. Art teacher Barbie Koy will return this year to instruct the students in various art projects that relate to the Swan Lake ballet.
Ballet Center of Houston is proud to bring back our summer ballet camp for young beginners or previously trained dancers. Last years successful Cinderella Camp inspired the recreation of the camp but with a new theme. BCH parent Marjorie Westmoreland is pleased that the Swan Lake Camp is on the schedule again. Mrs. Westmoreland remembers how much her two daughters Julia and Marjorie enjoyed last years Cinderella Camp, and is excited for her girls to get the chance to participate again this summer.
Mark your calendars to attend the Swan Lake Ballet Camp! We will have to two age groups and would like to have them both filled, so please invite friends and cousins to participate as well. Remember that students do not need previous training to take part in the camp. More information will be available as the summer approaches.
Thank you!
