The Summer Your Dancer Becomes the Standout. CKB Ballet Intensive 2026.


What a dancer does in June determines their rank in September. While most students spend the first three months of the fall season "catching up," CKB dancers return stronger, more focused, and ready to lead.

Led by Clifton Keefer Brown (MFA)—former Principal Dancer and University Ballet Professor—this program brings the rigor of professional and university-level training to a focused, accessible format.


The CKB Competitive Advantage:

  • The 'Elite Seven' Residency: We strictly limit enrollment to 7 dancers per group. This ensures your dancer receives the high-frequency correction and individual attention required for visible technical breakthroughs.
  • YAGP & Variation Mastery: Dancers don't just "participate"; they build a variation from the ground up, focusing on the coordination, timing, and presentation required for the competition stage.
  • The Hybrid Masterclass: Benefit from the best of both worlds: live, world-class instruction from Clifton Keefer Brown, supported by hands-on, in-person studio oversight by Kelsey and her team in Bowling Green, KY.
  • Beyond the Barre (Ages 12+): We provide the "Professional Toolkit," including Strength & Conditioning and targeted Nutrition sessions to build a resilient, energized athlete.


Ditch the $5,000 travel costs of national intensives without sacrificing the elite quality of instruction.

Sessions:

  • Session 1: June 15–18 & June 22–25
  • Session 2: July 20–23 & July 27–30


Ages 7+ : 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Pricing & Urgency:

  • Early Bird: $400 (Ends May 18)
  • Standard: $450
  • Capacity: Strictly limited to 7 spots. Once they are gone, registration closes.

Worth the Cost

My daughter has been working with Mr. Clifton for a year and a half now. In that time, I have seen so much growth and improvement in both her technique and her confidence. He is all about the details. He works to each dancer's strengths and helps them to overcome areas where they struggle. I would recommend anyone to give this intensive a try!

Working with Clifton

My daughter loves working with Mr Clifton! He is a wonderful teacher and pays attention to the body type of your child to give correction and help get their bodies in the shape they need to be able to do ballet and dance more broadly correctly! He builds confidence and character and helps mold your child with constructive criticism and respect! And he cares deeply for each of his students in hopes of their success!

Personalized Training with Measurable Results

My 8 year old son started working with Clifton 8 months ago. When they first met, my son did not even know the basic starting positions or any ballet terminology. Clifton has taken him under his wing and become the most incredible mentor to him. The growth we have seen in just 8 months is astounding. As parents, my husband and I are so grateful for the way Clifton focuses on technique, building from the ground up, and using strength and flexibility training to prevent injury. In September, our 8 year old could not correctly tendu or dégagé. Now, he is preparing to perform his first solo variation this week. My husband and I believe Clifton’s coaching is worth every penny. We can’t recommend his training enough!
