The Ballet and Contemporary Summer Intensive gives aspiring ballet and contemporary dancers daily classes in ballet, contemporary, and repertoire. There will also be classes in conditioning instructed by the teachers in their fields of expertise such as Pilates, Progressing Ballet Technique, etc. The faculty includes international guest artists. More information on other Summer faculty is posted on this website and our Facebook page.

He is currently the artist in residence with Ballet BC as well as a teacher for Modus Operandi: Vancouver Contemporary Dance Program under the direction of Tiffany Tregarthen & David Raymond, and the Arts Umbrella Dance Company under the direction of Artemis Gordon.
Born and raised in Kingston, Ontario, Peter moved away from home at the age of 16 to begin his formal training at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. Upon graduating from the RWB, he spent a year as an RWB Aspirant where he performed with the company as well as guesting with Ballet Victoria and Ballet BC.
Peter officially joined Ballet BC as a company artist in 2008 and danced there for the next 11 seasons. While with the company, he created, collaborated, and performed works by internationally esteemed choreographers including Crystal Pite, William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin, Johan Inger, Jorma Elo, Itzik Galili, Sharon Eyal and Medhi Walerski. Peter also choreographed works and produced films for several workshops and labs as part of the company’s outreach and served as a rehearsal director and coach as the current Ballet BC Artist in Residence.
