Summer Dance Camp: Ballet / Jazz (ages 8-12)

This Ballet portion of this camp will include daily barre, center, stretching, adagio and allegro work. Class will focus on both a physical and intellectual understanding of how and why each movement should be executed. Strength, flexibility, balance, poise and musicality will be developed along with an understanding of Ballet technique. The Jazz portion of the camp will be an eclectic blend of styles, heavily influenced by Fosse and Luigi techniques, utilizing popular music of the past and present. It will build the technical and expressive abilities necessary for concert jazz and musical theater venues with an emphasis on line, phrasing, coordination and injury prevention. Students will examine the similarities and differences between the two techniques and explore how they complement each other. Attire is leotard and tights for women, and dance pants or sweats for men. Ballet slipper recommended.
