ABOUT

Designed for dancers both with and without experience, Demi Soloist camps dive wholeheartedly into their weekly theme through a dynamic mix of dance, enrichment, and all the enjoyable extras.

Dancers engage in dance classes within their age cohorts and come together for games and additional activities, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared experiences, while learning movement suited to their development!

 

Each day, dancers embrace confidence through ballet classes tailored to hone in on current abilities and embrace new skills. In our "variations" classes, we have fun exploring choreography, characters, and acting. Through engaging art projects, dancers express their individuality while learning the beginnings of stagecraft & costuming. Inspiration abounds in our age-appropriate "dance history" activities, where storytelling and hands-on exploration come together. And amidst the excitement, there is still ample time for play and fostering friendships through games and time outsideTo nurture both minds and bodies, we pause for a daily snack (and lunch for full-day campers), ensuring ample time to recharge!
