Summer vacation kept Christian Brothers Academy students Sarah Lester ’14 and Serena Schmitt ’15 on their toes, as both were selected to participate in the Saratoga Summer Dance Intensive, in Saratoga Springs, NY.

This five-week program of rigorous ballet training is geared toward younger dancers looking to improve their skills under the tutelage of professional dancers, including members of the New York City Ballet. Students must audition to participate in the program, which this year included over 80 dancers from across the country.
