SUMMER DANCE & ARTS CAMP

Beginners to Advanced Beginners Ages 6 to 11

Register for One to Three Weeks from Monday, June 14 – Friday, July 2, 2010 

Summer Dance & Arts Camp

This beginner’s camp for students 6 though 11 emphasizes the principles of ballet and modern dance alongside a creative curriculum that includes exploratory work in music, the arts and other dance forms.  The program is separated into the Primary Camp for children 6 through 8 and the Elementary Camp for students 9 to 11.  All camps run 10am to 2:30pm Monday through Friday for a period of three (3) weeks; each week culminates with an in-studio demonstration for family members and friends to attend and enjoy!

 

Led by a mature, educated and encouraging dance faculty, Summer Dance & Arts Camp is designed to foster the young dancer’s creativity, curiosity and problem-solving skills.  Children will focus on the basic components of dance, along with an introduction to hip hop, tap and cultural dance.  Additional activities include arts and crafts, rhythm and music, and storytelling. Students also learn important performance and life skills, including character development, self-confidence, stage presence and collaboration. 

 

Students may participate in any one or more weeks of a Summer Dance & Arts Camp.  To learn more, including information about tuition, registration and daily class schedules, please click the appropriate link below:

Senior Division (Advanced/Pre-Professional Dancers Ages 16 and Older):  Monday, July 26 - Friday, August 13, 2010

Summer Intensives

The Summer Intensive Program is designed to nourish and foster intermediate, advanced and pre-professional dancers ages 12 and older with at least 3 years of training in ballet and modern.  The Program is separated into the Junior Division Summer Intensive for dancers 12 to 15 and the Senior Division Summer Intensive for dancers 16 and older.  Both Junior and Senior Division Intensives run 11am to 6pm Monday through Friday for a period of three weeks.  All programs conclude with a student concert, wherein participants showcase work developed in collaboration with the faculty over the course of the Intensive.

 

The Summer Intensive Program is structured to advance the artistic and technical skills of participating dancers.  Over the course of the Intensive, students take 30 classes from The Center’s core curriculum, which includes a daily ballet class and a daily Horton or Graham-based modern class.  The core curriculum is supplemented by additional workshops and classes in jazz, hip hop, partnering, cultural dance, improvisation, composition and body conditioning.  All students receive a written evaluation at the start, mid-point and conclusion of the Intensive, allowing the student’s individual progress to be charted.

 

Students may participate in any one or more weeks of a Summer Intensive; however, only students who attend the full three-week Program may participate in the final student concert.  To learn more about The Summer Intensive Program, including information about tuition, registration and daily class schedules, please click the appropriate link below:
