Summer Camps

 

All Camps and Workshops are limited to just 15 students. 

Many of our camps last year were FULL. 

So, Don’t Delay…Register Today!

INTRODUCTION TO THE ARTS
Children will play theatre games and learn stage presence, voice projection, pantomime, music, and movement and introductory acting skills. Children will work with different art mediums such as clay, mosaics, drawing, and crafts to create different art projects each day. They will sing music and use creative movement to express themselves.  Students will present what they learn through a performance at the conclusion of camp. This camp is great for introducing young children to the arts and giving them the tools to appreciate the arts for a lifetime.

                     

                      Ages:    Children 4-7 years old

                      Dates: Week 1—June 16-20

                                  Week 2—June 23-27

JUNIOR DANCE WORKSHOP
Children will be exposed to a variety of disciplines including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop, and Ethnic Dance. Additionally we will focus on dance history, improvisation, and choreography. The skills and routines learned will culminate in an informal performance for parents at the end of the week. Optional sleep over nights on 7/31!

 

                      Ages:    Children 7-11 years old   

                      Dates: July 28-August 1

ACTING/MUSICAL THEATRE
This camp allows the actor in all of us to grow. Our camp is structured around building confidence while achieving all the necessary tools needed for a well rounded performer. Your child will learn to improvise, pantomime, and build complete characters. Students will also learn blocking, physical awareness, and vocal warm-ups. In addition to these acting skills your child will learn basic dance moves required for the musical theatre stage. Students will have the opportunity to perform at the end of the week. There will be optional sleepover nights on 7/17, 7/24, and 8/7!

                      Ages:    Children 8-13 years old              

                      Dates: Week 1—July 14-18        

                       Week 2—July 21-25

                       Week 3—August 4-8

Hip Hop/Rhythm Workshop

Children will be exposed to a variety of movement styles, Breakin’, Lockin’, Poppin’, and House, which make up the genre known as Hip Hop.  In addition to hip hop, students will learn steppin’ and the rhythmic sounds of street tap.  Students will also learn about the history and evolution of hip hop.  We will focus on choreography and the skills and routines learned will culminate in an informal performance for parents at the end of the week.  But more importantly, we will focus on the skills of free styling (which make hip hop what it is) and developing each student’s personal “flava”.  Optional sleepover night on 7/10!

 

                      Ages:   Children 7-11 years old

                      Dates: July 7-11

ALL workshops, with the exception of the Master Class, follow the schedule listed below and have Half and Full Day Options.

Morning Session: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Lunch Break:  12:00 PM – 12:30 PM

Afternoon Session:  12:30 PM – 3:30 PM

 

The morning and afternoon sessions of all Camps/Workshops are NOT repetitive.  Students are encouraged to register for a full day as it will maximize skills learned and the level of preparedness for the performance at the conclusion of camp.

 

Multiple Weeks

Weeks 1, 2, and 3 of each workshop are separate and complete in their own right.  Week 1 is NOT a prerequisite for participation in Week 2/3.  Though focused on similar skills and techniques, the two weeks are not repetitive and will result in different performances.  Therefore participation in both weeks is encouraged, but not required.
