Catskills Ballet Camp

Catskills Ballet Camp is a unique sleepaway experience in the Catskill Mountains near Hunter, NY, combining intensive professional ballet training with traditional camp activities. The camp operates during school breaks (Christmas, winter) and throughout the summer, welcoming dancers ages 8 and up from beginner through advanced levels. Students live together in a supportive environment with comfortable accommodations and three meals per day. The curriculum includes ballet technique, pointe, stretching and conditioning, contemporary dance, character dance, partnering, classical variations, and repertory work. The program is led by Julia Vorobyeva and Albert Davydov, former principal ballet dancers and international competition winners. Summer activities include swimming, hiking, outdoor games, and trips. Winter activities feature skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, ice skating, and holiday celebrations. The program culminates in a special Summer Performance on an outdoor stage. New students must audition; space is limited to maintain an intimate camp environment. Weekly attendance options are available during summer.
