The Summer Dance Intensive Handbook: How to Choose the Best Program for Your Child and Help Your Dancer Get the Most Out of the Experience

Thousands of girls and boys attend summer dance intensives every year. Choosing the right one and preparing for it can prove a stressful experience for parents and dancers -- until the creation of this handbook. Prepared by the mother of a male dancer who has "been there and done that," including chaperoning her son in New York City during the prestigious American Ballet Theatre summer ballet intensive, this handbook offers practical advice for parents and dancers so they make the right choice, prepare appropriately, conduct themselves well, stay healthy, and learn as much as possible while enjoying themselves as well. You won't want to choose a summer intensive or send a dancer off for to a program without consulting this handbook first.

The Handbook includes chapters on:
How to Choose a Summer Dance Intensive Program
How to Register for a Summer Dance Intensive
What to Bring to a Summer Dance Intensive
How to Prepare for a Summer Dance Intensive
How to Stay Healthy and Strong During a Summer Dance Intensive
How Dancers Should Conduct Themselves During a Summer Dance Intensive

Bonus! One full chapter on "What to Consider When Attending the ABT Summer Dance Intensive in New York City"

This updated edition includes the author's experiences and her son's as he went on to attend not only regional dance intensives and the ABT ballet intensive but also the School of American Ballet and San Francisco Ballet summer intensive. It also includes a brief discussion of how these programs can lead to year-round residential programs.

About the Author

Nina Amir, Your Inspiration-to-Creation Coach, inspires people to create the results they desire. When working with writers, she inspires them to create publishable and published products and careers as writers and authors. She inspires non-writers to create fully-lived lives; their cherished dreams, desires and goals; and meaning-full and spirit-full rituals and practices. In all cases, she challenges them to find and fulfill their purpose.

Nina is a seasoned journalist, editor, writing and author coach; maggid (Jewish inspirational speaker); Kabbalistic conscious creation coach; and the regular holiday and spirituality expert on Conversations with Mrs. Claus, a weekly podcast heard in more than 90 countries and downloaded by 130,000 listeners per month. She holds a BA in magazine journalism from Syracuse University’s S.I Newhouse School of Public Communication with a concentration in psychology, is a certified life coach, a certified rebirther, and is trained as a Tarot reader and as a Voice Dialogue facilitator.

Through her writing and speaking, Nina offers human potential, personal growth, self-improvement, and practical spiritual tools. Although she often speaks and writes from a Jewish perspective, her work spans religious lines and is pertinent to people of all faiths and spiritual traditions. She also is a popular writer, blogger and speaker on topics related to publishing and writing.In all she does, Nina focuses on helping people live their lives fully and manifest their desires -- whether those desires look like written products or something entirely different.

Nina sees herself as an "Everywoman" whose struggles and successes are not unlike anyone else’s. Therefore, she writes, speaks and teaches from a place of knowing that what has worked for her will at least provide others with a starting place from which to find what works best for them.

She lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains above Los Gatos, CA, with her husband and two children.
