Summer Dance is Here!
CREATIVE DANCE CAMP 10:00am-11:00am
July 7-Friday July 11 Age 3-6 M/T/W/Th/F $95
This camp is an excellent choice for the movers and wigglers who enjoy freestyle dance and creative expression. Taught by one of our lead instructors with a special appearance from a new Guest Artist, participants in this camp can expect prop play, character play, and plenty of dance play all while integrating basic skills to broaden their expression vocabulary and movement knowledge.
CHILDREN'S DANCE CAMP 11:00am-12:00pm
July 7-July 11 Age 7-9 M/T/W/Th/F $95
This camp is for movers with a curiosity about rhythm, jazz, ballet, and movement play through creative expression. Taught by one of our lead instructors with a special appearance from a new Guest Artist, participants in this camp can expect to learn basic ballet and jazz skills following a more anticipated class structure--warm-up, across the floor, perhaps a wee bit of choreography to try on, and, as always, an emphasis on an engaging, fun student experience while building community.
YOUTH INTENSIVE 12:00pm-5:00pm
July 7-July 18 Age 10-16 M/T/W/Th/F $775
Our 2-week summer Youth Intensive is perfectly suited for dancers interested in expanding current skills and broadening their knowledge and experience. Some of the many special offerings to our Youth Intensive students this year include ballet technique, pointe and pre-pointe, lyrical dance, tap, variations, and specialty electives such as Character Development, Anatomy for Dancers, a pom workshop, performance hair and make-up, and a very important one--stage presence.
​
Youth ballet will be lead by our Artistic Director Miss Rachel and Lead ballet instructor, Miss Lauren. We are also extremely thrilled to be introducing a new Vaganova specialist shortly....stay tuned! In addition to the benefits of developing their ballet practice, students will also have the opportunity to hone new skills from other various professionals in specialty fields that we do not otherwise have the chance to explore in our time together.

Our adult group hosts a diverse population of students of all levels of experience, novices included!

Classes are taught through an anatomical lens, student-centered exploration, and somatically sound framework.
