Every summer, YDT hosts a Summer Dance Intensive at four skill levels for dancers from ages 8-18.  Dance technique classes cover ballet, pointe, partnering, jazz, and modern.  Topics covered in seminar or practice sessions include make-up, Pointe shoe basics, nutrition, physiology and health, strengthening exercises, make-up techniques, safety and injury prevention and stage operations.  Topics and classes vary from year to year at the discretion of the artistic director.  Lunch and frequent rest breaks provide opportunities for dancers to socialize and develop a sense of team work and camaraderie.

This program directed by Wendi DuBois has a strong faculty who have danced, are now dancing or are continuing training to dance professionally.  Faculty for the 2008 Summer Dance Intensive included Slavka Jelinkova, Carrie Schotte, Roya Panahi, Rhonda Kendzicky, Liisa Locker, Caitlin Burke, Alyssa Alger, Nancy Giles, Smm Shelton, Aja Brandmeier, Kyle Kooyers, Erik Abbott-Main, and Molly Root
