An entire dormitory building on the Purchase College SUNY campus is allocated to Summer School. The students are housed in air-conditioned double rooms. Housing, meals and the use of laundry are included in the tuition. Three meals daily are provided on campus in a dining hall exclusively for us.
Purchase College SUNY is well-known for its performing arts programs. The dance building has nine air-conditioned studios and is a 5-minute walk from the dormitory. Among other facilities, there is an ATM and a general store.
House-mothers(chaperones) and student counselors will supervise the students.
There are several theaters on the campus a 5 minute walk from the dormitory. Every student has the opportunity to dance in several performances, depending on their length of stay at Summer School. There is one Demonstration, two sessions of the Performance Awards, and three performances. Parents and friends may attend these events. The Gala Performance in the large theater is always so exciting! Costumes are supplied at no charge to the students. Each student receives a certificate. Scholarships and prizes are awarded to students who have excelled.
Students must be between the ages of 11 and 22. A minimum of 4 years ballet training is required. Admission is by audition or video. (See “Audition Requirements”)
Placement classes will be assessed by several faculty teachers to place students in levels which will be most advantageous to them. This assessment is reviewed after two days. The Faculty will not discuss placement with any parent or teachers of the students. Parents and teachers must be confident that students are given much consideration and opportunity in the placement process.
Students who live near the campus may attend Summer School without living on campus. A reduced fee is payable. See “Fees” schedule.
Boys will have instruction in special classes in addition to joining in the technique classes.
Payment may be made by credit card or check for the full amount or by not more than three installments by post-dated checks or credit card. In this case, at least 1/3 of the full amount must be paid with the completed application form. Post-dated checks must be included with the application. The final payment must be dated before May 15, 2012. A charge of $50 will be made for unpaid checks. A surcharge of 3% will be made for credit cards.
No refunds will be made of any amounts paid unless a medical doctor’s certificate evidencing the inability of the applicant to attend Summer School is submitted. The certificate must be received before June 15, 2012. In such cases, a refund less 30%, will be made. No refunds will be made if the application for a refund is received after June 15, 2012.
