We primarily accept dancers between the ages of 13 and 21. However, exceptions may be made for students outside this age range, considered on a case-by-case basis.

We have no fixed deadline to offer flexibility, but applications close once capacity is full. Due to high demand, early submission is recommended.

You will receive a response within two weeks of submitting your application. If accepted, please note that payment is due within 10 working days of receiving your results. Payment plans are available upon agreement with the YSB Team.

Yes, students from previous years must apply like all the other candidates.

Our director and teaching staff will assign each applicant to a level. The intensives are divided into two groups: intermediate and advanced. If we determine a group change would be beneficial after the first day, our director will make that adjustment.

This option can be considered on a case-by-case basis, though we typically advise against it, as the choreography and classes are structured for a 10-day program.

This is only possible with prior agreement from the YSB Team, and no discount will be provided unless there is a significant absence. Please contact us for possibilities.

Applicants must wear appropriate dance attire and may pose either at the barre or in a position of their choice (arabesque, plié, retiré, dégagé, attitude, etc.). Photos must be of high quality and must not be blurred.

This document must detail the schools attended by the applicant and specify whether they are enrolled in a recreational or professional programme. It should also include information on participation in other intensive programmes, competitions, significant performances, and masterclasses.

Payments are made by direct bank transfer. If required other payment methods can be arranged with prior agreement of YSB. Please send us an email to find out the possibilities.

Please note that payment must be completed within 10 working days of receiving the acceptance email. Payment plans are available, but only with prior agreement from the YSB Team.

There is no specific dress code for our intensive. Participants are encouraged to wear attire in which they feel comfortable and confident, provided it aligns with standard ballet wear.

Accommodation is not included in the course fee, nor do we provide housing through our programme. However, we offer an online forum for summer school participants where you can connect with others to arrange shared accommodation. The nearest hotel to our studios is Hotel Steps Berlin.

YSB does not provide meals during the intensive. However, there are numerous nearby dining and supermarket options, including vegan-friendly establishments, conveniently located close to our studios.
