While weekends offer much-needed rest from the “intensity” of Summer Intensive, they also offer an opportunity to explore Cincinnati with new friends. As such, Cincinnati Ballet’s Summer Resident Program offers several weekend activities and trips to explore your summer home. Weekend excursions are optional, but encouraged, as they offer a break from the rigors of classes and the chance to explore the rich cultural landscape of the region.
