Bexley residents Evan Cook, son of Chuck and Allison Cook, and Emily Reed, daughter of Frank and Francis Reed, are among about 115 young dancers who will participate in the BalletMet Dance Academy Summer Intensives in Columbus.

The participants qualified for the program through auditions, and will undergo several weeks of training designed for dance students with professional aspirations.

Students take classes at least five days each week, studying ballet technique, Pointe and repertoire. They also receive instruction in disciplines such as modern dance and jazz, and have the opportunity to take enrichment courses in subjects such as nutrition, music and Pilates.

At least one participant in the program will be chosen to be a BalletMet Company trainee for the 2009-2010 season.

The intermediate/advanced program levels will perform July 24 and the pre-professional students will perform July 31.
