Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: From what I've heard, the Harid Conservatory program is excellent. Since they are an actual year-round dance school and not a ballet company, they are more focused on sound teaching. I have a feeling that the Boston Ballet runs their summer program mostly as a source of income for their company, as I knew someone else who was less than thrilled with the program.

If you're looking for other options besides Harid, I highly recommend that you check out the "Ballet Talk for Dancers" message board:
http://dancers.invisionzone.com/index.ph...
They have an entire sub-forum that is devoted to Summer Intensives, with all of them (meaning all ballet-based programs) listed from A to Z covering 7 pages. You have to be a registered member of BT4D in order to access those forums, but it's as easy as Yahoo Answers in terms of setting up a user ID. The BT4D is great for "meeting" other dancers who will be going to the same program and making friends ahead of time.
