Summer Intensive '25

Summer’s are probably my favorite thing about the dance world.

I miss the days of spending hours per day for weeks just working on the craft. Especially as a late starter. Intensives were probably where most of my progress was made.

It’s also what led to my first position in a ballet company.

If you’re looking for teachers for your intensive, reach out through the form at the bottom of the page.

I teach ballet, jazz, musical theater, and can offer money or business mentoring, if applicable. All my teaching is from my years of experiences with great teachers, like contemporaries of David Howard, professional experience from the Metropolitan Opera, Radio City and off-Broadway and from my years of non-stop study.

“ James Stevko is a seasoned professional dancer who has the uncanny ability to connect with young students. He comes to the table with lots of energy, extreme wit and a whole lot of fun! His classes  incorporate specific corrections, memorable exercises and most important, the joy of the dance. James will inspire your students to work hard and enjoy along the way!"
