Ballet ClassesThe CPYB Summer Program is designed as an intensive summer study. While we strive to maintain a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for allof our Summer Program Students, students should be prepared for a demanding class schedule. Our goal is that at the conclusion of theprogram, each student is able to see the results of his or her five weeks of hard work.The schedule of required ballet classes for CPYB’s Summer Program begins at either 9:00 a.m. or 10:30 a.m., Monday through Friday,and ends between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., with time available for lunch and dinner. Required classes are also held on Saturday morningsfor levels B2 and higher. Except for those students in level A, students are required to take three technique classes daily, includingpointe, men’s technique, modern and partnering for those who qualify. The teacher:student ratio averages 1:20; however, some classesmay have as few as 15 or as many as 26 students.Optional, but highly recommended, evening classes are available from 6:45 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at no extra charge Monday through Friday asfollows:■■Ballet Technique for all levels■■Partnering (by invitation or audition only)It is important to note that even though a student may be taking pointe at her regular school, it is possible that she will not be scheduledfor pointe classes at the CPYB Summer Program. Pointe work can be harmful if the student has not learned to use the proper leg and footmuscles or does not have good body placement. The most efficient way for most students to improve their pointe work is to improve theirballet technique. Young men placed in levels where female students take pointe will usually be scheduled to take men’s class daily.Supplemental ClassesSupplemental classes are offered for a nominalfee during the Summer Program. Theseclasses are offered at various times duringthe five-week program. Parents must authorizepayment for these classes by using thesupplemental class payment form.

Thetime of your placement class will be in your registration packet upon your arrival to the Program.Students arriving late to the Program are placed in a temporary level based on applicationmaterials until they can be assessed by the appropriate staff, at which time they may bemoved if necessary. Currently enrolled CPYB students are not required to take a placementclass. CPYB students should call for their level starting at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, June 28.The division of students into levels is based solely on ability, not age. Based on the placementclass, students are placed in the level where it is felt they will benefit the most. Placementfactors include technical achievement and the nature of individual problems observed in theclass. For instance, students of about the same level with similar body placement problems maybe assigned to one class to enable the teachers to concentrate on the correction of that problem.Normally there are students of a broad range of ages in each class. Many levels, in fact, representonly small differences in ability, and a certain level this year may be much more or much less advancedthan that same level of the previous year. The levels are taught according to the abilityof the students in the level and not according to a certain syllabus for the level.After the beginning of the Program, changes in class placement are always initiated by CPYBSummer Program teachers—never by the student or parents of the student. On the rare occasionswhen adjustment in level is warranted, a change will be made as soon as possible. If youhave concerns about a student’s class placement, please wait until the student has completedthe first week of classes before calling the CPYB office. At that point, if the student still feelsthey are at a level too difficult, or if they are not being challenged, you may call the office at717.245.1190 to schedule a telephone conference appointment with the Summer Program Assistantto the Artistic Director, Patricia Sorrell.
