Summer Intensives and Classes

As Spring classes are finishing up and the curtain is closing on recitals, the next thing on everyone's mind is FIRST a break, which is greatly deserved! But SECOND is summer classes and intensives. But which one should you choose? How long do they last? Do you have to audition? How much does it cost? We hope to help with your decision with our complete guide to Oklahoma summer intensives below! (Please note that this does not include regular summer classes at studios, this is only workshops and intensives). If we have missed any, let us know and we will update our list!
