DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Each session begins with a dance class where students will learn dance steps and combinations to a variety of music styles and dance techniques, including modern, ballet, jazz, and world dance. Then they will work together to create a piece of choreography based on the style of dance. After, students will have the opportunity to explore other areas of dance performance including costume and set designing, dance history, theatre, and music, and visual art. Building on the belief that all children are artists, students will explore a wide variety of media including drawing, painting, collage, and sculpture. Dancers will conclude the day with relaxation and yoga. All levels are welcome. There will be a short performance for parents on Friday at the conclusion of the program. (please bring a nut-free snack and lunch)
August 11-August 15 (M-F), 11:30-3:30pm
