In Ballibay's new 2-week Dance Intensive Program campers spend most of their day in dance classes and rehearsals, while still having time each day to try other activity areas including art, music, video, radio, Capoeira, Tai Chi, and tennis.

The two weeks include two performances designed for dance intensive campers: a Dance Concert consisting of new jazz, tap, ballet, modern, and hip-hop choreography, and a Showcase in which work from campers' ongoing classes is exhibited.

Intensive campers also can participate in a Camper Cabaret of song, dance, instrumental performance, and skits; and a Monologue and Dialogue Night of monologues, short scenes, and poetry. During the intensive there is also a Bonfire with performances and sing-alongs, a Movie Night, a DJ Dance, a Rock and Roll Band Night, and three nights of theatre productions performed by the 4-week campers.
