DANCEcamp is for ALL children interested in dance. The program will supplement a young dancer’s regular schedule by creating a new-found knowledge and genuine interest in more than just the physical aspects of dance. Whether he/she has had years of dance training or no training at all, your child will gain an increased respect for and enjoyment of the dance arts. Participation in the camp will bring happy and exciting memories for years to come.
