Welcome To Dance Camp 2013
For Girls and Boys Entering Grades 2-5 (Morning Specialty)
For Girls and Boys Entering Grades 6-9 (Afternoon Specialty)
Session 1: July 1 - 12
Session 2: July 15 - 26
Session 3: July 29 - August 9
Our Dance specialty is structured to fit the needs of the beginning dancer as well as the advanced student in search of a challenge. Dance styles, including ballet, jazz, theater and theater jazz, hip-hop, and lyrical, are presented to allow the young dancer to become well-rounded. On "Hip-Hop Fridays," campers showcase their moves to the music of their choice, and learn new moves from the experienced and fun counselors!
The emphasis is not only to educate, but also to offer the student an opportunity to have fun and experience excitement and accomplishment through participation in a creative activity. Children are also encouraged to create their own choreography, which is performed in a dance production under the supervision of the Hofstra Summer Camps staff. Campers are involved in the entire production: programs, selection of music, choreography and staging. Each session offers different music and dance variations of new programs. Class sizes are kept as small as possible to enable one-on-one interaction and attention. Each two-week session culminates in a showcase performance where parents are invited to view their children’s progress. Campers are encouraged to bring their own dance attire, but it is not mandatory.
Schedule
Half the day consists of dance. For the other half of the day, your child is placed in a recreation group of 8-10 campers of the same grade and gender where all campers enjoy lunch, instructional swim and recreational sports.
