So You Think You Can Dance Camp
Does your child tap their toes constantly? Do you find them dancing around their room when they think no one is watching? We have the camp for them! Throughout the week, campers will learn different dance styles (ballet, contemporary, jazz, and hip hop), discuss good nutrition choices, explore the relationship between music and dance, work with partners and in a group, and learn about improvisation and what it takes to be a choreographer. On Friday, there will be an outdoor camper performance for friends and family. The performing arts aid in the growth of a child's self-confidence, coordination, and creative expression. Join us for a week of fun, learning, and dance appreciation!
Campers will need to bring each day a lunch, snacks, water bottle, and sunscreen each day.
Information regarding new protocols and procedures will be emailed out prior to camp. If you have any questions, please email Julie at briodancestudio@gmail.com.
