This is a great introductory camp for beginning dancers interested in energetic movement. Campers learn dance steps in jazz and hip-hop; and work on spacing, rhythm, and musicality. We then use what we learn in dynamic choreography. We even develop a few steps of our own to include in our final presented piece. Dance, Dance, Dance concludes with an in-person performance for family and friends during the final 20 minutes of camp. No special shoes or dancewear required.
