Intermediate Dance Camp
-If your child is aged 11-13 and will be attending Middle School for the 2011-2012 year they will be in the camp with Ms. Jenn. This camp focuses on technique and is at a slower more beginning paced class which will leave the students feeling a huge success towards dancing. FEE $50
Advanced Dance Camp
-If your child is aged 14+ and will be attending High School for the 2011-2012 year (or college) they will be in the camp with Jason Herrington. This camp is an advanced dance camp. If you are entering High School and/or new to dance, we highly recommend you are with Ms. Jenn and test it out first. Your are always more than welcome to move between the Intermediate and Advance camps to correctly place yourself. FEE $50
ALL Intermediate and Advanced Dance Camp Students should click on the Int./Adv. Camp link for specific information pertaining to your camp.
° Why is the beginning Fee more than the Int./Adv. Fee?
- Being such a young age, these students are supervised and guided a lot more than the Int./Adv. students. Furthermore, the students of the beginning camp get to do a lot more than just DANCE. There’s educational lessons on teamwork, passion, leadership, determination, courage, performance, and much more!
