Mini Dance Intensive

This camp is a great introduction to a “summer intensive” for younger, motivated ballet students looking to refine their ballet technique and greatly enhance their dance training in a condensed period of time. Students must have had at least 2 years of ballet training to participate. Each day will begin with a 1 hour and 15 minute ballet class taught by a Passion Dance or guest teacher, in which the students will improve upon their technical skills through the Vaganova Method of training. The remainder of the day will include learning ballet choreography, a conditioning session and a contemporary dance or musical theatre dance class. In the choreography session students will learn and perfect choreography for a classical ballet piece. The contemporary and musical theatre dance classes will teach the students how to diversify their dance technique through each different style, and these classes will also include a choreography session for that style. The conditioning session will focus on stretches and other strengthening exercises that will teach the students how to increase their flexibility and muscle stamina as well as prevent injuries. On Friday afternoon a brief demonstration will be held for the parents during the final 30 minutes of camp, in which the students will showcase the ballet, contemporary, and musical theatre choreography learned throughout the week.

Ages 8 – 12, must have at least 2 years prior ballet experience
