How to Structure a 6-Week Summer Ballet Class Series (With Free Template) ✨
If summer ballet classes feel a little... scattered, you're not alone. 😅
With dancers in and out on vacations and recitals behind you, it’s easy to fall into “maintenance mode.” But summer is actually the perfect time to build technique, experiment creatively, and help your students take big leaps forward (pun fully intended).
And it doesn’t have to be overwhelming to plan.
👇 That’s why we created a free downloadable template to help you design a focused, fun, and progression-based 6-week summer ballet class series.
Why Structure Matters (Especially in Summer)
Even if students are coming and going, a themed and goal-oriented structure helps:
Keep returning students engaged and progressing
Allow drop-ins to still learn something meaningful
Help you avoid burnout by reducing the weekly mental load
Give parents confidence in you & your studio’s value and professionalism
What Your 6-Week Series Should Include:
Each week, think in terms of:
A Focus Theme
A Technique Goal
A Barre Element to Reinforce
A Center or Across-the-Floor Idea
An Across-the-Floor Idea
Music Selection Ideas
Take the Stress Out of Summer Planning
