Summer Dance 2008

Pre-Ballet Camps

Ages 3 - 6

Includes pre-ballet class, snack, and coloring/craft activity. Sessions for 5 & 6 yr. olds include tap

Similar to our regular school year Pre-Ballet program, our camp provides students with a variety of dance experiences in a structured, yet fun, class setting. Emphasis is placed on age appropriate general muscle and coordination development with a gradual introduction of ballet based movement and simple terminology. Each class session includes structured activities, songs and movement games, and opportunities for creative movement.

*Students must be toilet trained and able to be independent of parent/guardian*
