Summer Ballroom Dance Camps
For Kids and Teens
These half-day camps will provide campers with an introduction to
several different dance styles in a studio atmosphere.
Why Dance?
Not only is Ballroom dancing all the rage, with shows like
"Dancing with the Stars" and "So You Think You Can Dance" topping the
ratings, it's a social skill that will serve children well for the rest
of their lives. Through social dance, children learn important
social skills, etiquette, respect for others, and discipline. This
is all in addition to exposure to music, exercise and dance skills which
they can use for a lifetime. And...it's fun!
Summer 2007 Session
A small but enthusiastic bunch enjoyed a week of dancing and games
last June. What a great week we had! Students learned the basics
of foxtrot, waltz, and cha-cha. They even enjoyed the electric
slide (we got the moms involved with this one too!) On Friday we
served cookies and showed off our new dance steps in a brief showcase
for our parents.
Summer Dance Camps 2008
We have just scheduled our 2008 Summer dance camps. During
these half-day camps, students will learn ballroom dance skills as well
as social etiquette that will last them a lifetime. Dance
instruction is interspersed with fun activities to keep the days
entertaining. Our 2007 group had a ball!
On Friday each week, parents and family are invited to see what we've
learned, and maybe even try a dance step themselves!
