Dance

Twirl into a world of fun at summer dance camps, where a plethora of styles are sure to please kids of all stripes. Whether your child is interested in ballet, hip hop, or interpretive, dance camps are the perfect way to encourage creativity and athleticism all bundled into one.

Leap feet first into the building blocks of dancing skills. Summer camps for children in elementary school will create a foundation for those looking to understand the relationship between music and movement. Kids will explore ballet techniques and become comfortable switching to third position or leaping a grand jete. Instruction in anatomy and history will inform many summer camps, as jazz lessons can blend physical improvisation and character dance into a unique experience.

Plunge into cutting-edge styles of dance. Teenagers especially will love the summer camps offered for breakdancing, hip hop intensives, and contemporary choreography that focus on some of the newest dance trends around. Instructors will hone in on personal instruction and teach each camper to dance well both in group choreography and with their own individualized strengths. With live performances to showcase their abilities as well, students will learn how to develop a stage presence and enjoy the fun of makeup artistry and costumes as a way to enhance their acts.

Jump into the world of partner dancing, where salsa, meringue, and ballroom hit the scene. For more advanced dancers who are looking for a challenge, this may be the ticket. Older kids will love the different style of coordinating their moves with a partner, and dance companies meant for all ages can teach the basic foundations of Latin dancing. Opportunities for fellow students to film and photograph the performances also contribute to more chances to develop their artistic abilities.

With choices from West African dance with live drumming or advanced ballet with pointe shoes, summer dance camps offer an astounding variety for the creative athlete in your child.
