<p>Hi. I'm currently a freshman pursuing a BFA in musical theatre at a school in the midwest. This summer I have discussed staying in Charlotte, North Carolina with family in hopes of studying dance more intensively the entire summer (while I work a "regular" job as well). My own hometown is average-sized but offers little in terms of dance training, especially in the summer. I am wondering if anyone on here knows of respected studios in the Charlotte area where I could keep up my dance and continue to grow, be pushed, etc. I would like to take ballet, jazz, and tap. Thanks so much for anyone who can offer help.</p>
<p>I am sure you already know, and it may be not what you are looking for but</p>
<p>80 min from Charlotte is NCSA- ( North Carolina School of the Arts)they have a great summer program for all the arts disciplines including dance.</p>
<p>Charlotte is a big city and it is bound to have a dance company there- Perhaps they have a summer program as well</p>
<p>not much help!!</p>
<p>I realize you want people to recommend studios with first hand knowledge of which are good, etc. but I did a quick google search for you and this link lists all the dance studios in the Charlotte area with links to each one:</p>
<p>This link also appeared as a useful starting point:</p>
