Created out of Ethan Stiefel's commitment to developing young talent, Stiefel & Students is an extraordinary training and performance program designed to provide elite ballet students with the opportunity to study and perform with some of the world's most popular professionals.  During the program, the students, ages 14-18, study ballet technique, pointe, variations, musical theatre and Pilates. 

Each winter, Stiefel & Students holds a national audition tour in search of 15 advanced ballet students to participate in the summer intensive program.  In the previous years, students have hailed from ballet schools all over the United States, Canada, Mexico and Japan.  The students are all hand-selected by Mr. Stiefel and the S&S faculty.  Many Stiefel & Students Alumni are now performing with some of the best ballet companies in the world.

Stiefel & Students is currently on hiatus and will not hold a summer session in 2009.
