Florida Ballet Summer Programs

Summer is a great opportunity to explore your passion for dance and enhance technique. Under the direction of Artistic Director Roberto Forleo, The Florida Ballet offers programs designed for beginning, intermediate, and pre-professional levels.

Storybook Journeys Program
