Dance Camp at the J!
This summer we are offering two 4-day camps for kids 5-8 years old and 9-12 years old. The days will include dance class, watching a movie (from a given ballet), art projects, swimming and snack.
Each week is geared around the Ballet of the week. We watch the video from the ballet, trying to learn some of it's unique choreography, and our art project will also be themed around the same Ballet.
Along with Dance camps, we will also hold regular dance classes in two 4-week long sessions, to keep up the technique that the students have worked so hard on, all year long. These classes are also good for those who might want to try a new form of dance. The short session gives students the opportunity to know if it's something they'd like to pursue in the Fall.
