Dance ART
Dance ART is where the worlds of movement and visual expression seamlessly intertwine to create a unique and immersive experience for aspiring dancers. Dance ART is not just a camp; it's a celebration of the art process itself. This innovative program invites dancers to explore the intersection of dance and visual arts, fostering a deep connection between movement and creative expression. Throughout the camp, dancers engage in a diverse range of classes, including ballet, contemporary, and jazz.
The fusion of dance and visual arts allows for a holistic approach to artistic expression, encouraging dancers to find inspiration in their own creations and those of their peers. The collaborative spirit of Dance ART extends to the dance studio, where participants collectively engage in the choreographic process. Dancers become choreographers as they work together to craft unique dance pieces inspired by their visual creations. This fusion of movement and art creation enhances their understanding of the synergy between various forms of artistic expression. Campers are encouraged to push boundaries, experiment with new ideas, and celebrate the inherent connection between the art-making process and the world of dance. Whether through brushstrokes or dance moves, Dance ART empowers participants to become true artists through movement and through art.
Dance CREATE
Dance CREATE Summer Camp is where the magic of movement meets the thrill of creativity! This one-of-a-kind camp is designed for young dancers who not only love to dance but also gives the opportunity for campers to become choreographers, costume designers, and set creators. At Dance CREATE, we believe in empowering young minds to take charge of their artistic vision and bring it to life. But it's not all about the stage! Dance CREATE Summer Camp also values the importance of play and fun in the sun. Campers will take a break from the studio to enjoy outdoor excursions to local splash pads and playgrounds. These activities provide a perfect opportunity for dancers to relax, bond with their fellow campers, and recharge their creative spirits in the warmth of the summer sun. We believe that every dancer is a storyteller, and every story is unique. Join us for a summer of self-discovery, artistic exploration, and the joy of bringing dreams to life through the art of dance!
