The 2024 edition of the MAB Summer Intensives has just ended, with a large participation of young dancers at the locations of Cavallino/VE (Le Terrazze del Mediterraneo Camping Village 5*) and Riace Marina/RC (Il Partenone Resort Hotel 4). The participants attended lessons, masterclasses and workshops in the various choreographic disciplines, and auditions for access to the institutional training programs.
The MAB teachers shared their knowledge in a climate of great technical, artistic and human collaboration, welcoming students from all over Italy and abroad.

The last stage of the Intensives took place in Finland with the first edition of the Turku Dance Camp, an international dance event that involved Finnish and Italian professionals. The camp and the gala were organized by Ruusuilla tanssijat ry, in collaboration with the MAB Association, Raija Lehmussaari Ballet School, the City of Turku, Turku University of Applied Sciences and EventiDanza.
Ruusuilla tanssijat ry, founded in early 2024, aims to promote ballet and other dance disciplines, creating new connections between local, national and international realities, and organizing dance shows, courses and events.
The closing Gala of the Turku Dance Camp represented the end of an international training course, with the performances of the participants, accompanied by the dancer Marko Juusela. The show, which was sold out, was prepared in the space of a few days of the Camp.
The performances began with an ensemble choreographed by Raija Lehmussaari, in which students from the various work groups performed, creating a friendly atmosphere despite the differences in age and level.
MAB talents shone on stage: Andrea Cheldi interpreted Pierre Beauchamp’s choreography Les Bourgeois with expressive ease, giving life to a young rebel. Giuseppe Fava instead enchanted with a variation of Giselle, obtaining great appreciation. Alisa Strygonkova and Maria Strizhak gracefully performed the variation of the Pearls from the ballet The Hunchback Horse.
Gisella Zilembo’s Renaissance choreography shifted the focus to artistic expressiveness, reaching very high peaks. Francesca Carobbio stood out in Jennifer Ravasio’s choreography, which fused fluid movements and tango accents, accompanied by the song “Guarda che Luna” by Nuda.
The Gala concluded with a spectacular pas de deux from Don Quixote, performed by Andrea Cheldi and Ester Papin.
