Movement Camp
Levels 1 and higher

Hey dancers! What are you doing this summer? Why not spend a week making new friends and having tons of fun while learning to dance in styles of ballet, Latin dance, modern, theatrical movement, and yoga. Our Movement Camp welcomes Dancers and Movers of all levels and disciplines. Campers will also work on dance-inspired crafts to make their own costume. No prior dance experience is necessary. Each dancer will work at their own ability. Afternoons are filled with fun activities that could include swimming at the Rec Pool, tours around campus, games, activities and more. On Friday, we will present a special performance for family, friends, and other campers. Children will be divided by ages upon arrival at camp.

Campers need to come in comfortable clothing such as t-shirts, shorts, tights, leotards, or leggings. Dance shoes (Ballet or Jazz style) are recommended but bare feet or socks will work just as well.
