Update Wednesday 27 May: Announcement regarding the final decision on the Amsterdam International Summer School 2020

At the moment the world is still dealing with the outbreak of the corona virus. In the Netherlands the restrictions on daily life will become slightly easier in the upcoming weeks. However, the studios of the Dutch National Ballet will remain closed until the beginning of September and the academies will be open only for students who will have their exams. Therefore, we unfortunately had to make the difficult decision to cancel the Amsterdam International Summer School 2020.

The Amsterdam International Summer School Online
As we are always enjoying working with so many international students during our summer intensive program, we decided to create an alternative program, which enables us to be in contact with you in the best way possible these days: the Amsterdam International Summer School Online.

Dates and groups
In collaboration with the Dutch National Ballet, the Dutch National Ballet Academy will organize a live streaming four-day online programme from 6th through 9th of July 2020. We are able to create a programme for the following three groups:
- 12-14 years old / EU-time zone (Amsterdam / UTC +2), in which classes will be from 10:00 -16:30 o’clock. 
- 15-21 years old / EU-time zone (Amsterdam / UTC +2), in which classes will be from 10:00 -16:30 o’clock.
- 15-21 years old / US-time zone (CT / UTC -5), in which classes will be from 08:00 -15:00 o’clock (Central US time).

Programme
The online Amsterdam International Summer School Online programme will provide a daily class in classical ballet, a daily repertoire workshop and each day one hour of an in-depth class with focus on a particular aspect of ballet. In this live online program you will be working with Anna Ol (principal dancer Dutch National Ballet), Marijn Rademaker (ex-principal dancer Dutch National Ballet), Juanjo Arques (creative associate Dutch National Ballet), Ernst Meisner (artistic director of Dutch National Ballet Academy and artistic coordinator of Junior Company) and teachers from the Dutch National Ballet Academy. On top of that you will have the unique opportunity to meet with the artistic staff and one of the principals of the Dutch National Ballet in our daily “Talk with”. And of course, you will be able to ask your questions in person.
