Ballet Intensive International is an Associate programme offered by The National Ballet Conservatory. BII offers young dancers a working platform to enhance their ballet training with periodical intensives taught throughout the year. Our mission is to offer wonderful opportunities for young dancers to experience the highest levels of coaching from word-renowned dancers.
BII has hosted guest teachers from English National Ballet, The Royal Ballet, Dutch National Ballet, Staatsballett Berlin, Birmingham Royal Ballet, The Royal Swedish Ballet & Stuttgart Ballet. Over the years BII has connected hundreds of aspiring dancers in Malta with professional dancers and ballet companies world-wide.
We offer Intensives throughout the year, while our most popular being our Summer Intensive.
