Ballet Performance Camp: Swan Lake

Be transformed into a swan, prince, or evil sorcerer as we dive into the classical ballet story of Swan Lake. This camp is perfect for students looking to enhance their artistry/performing skills through dance and/or for those that have a passion for putting a production together. Each day will begin with a 1 hour basic ballet technique class, which will focus on improving flexibility, posture, balance, coordination, positions, basic center/across the floor steps, and musicality. No previous ballet experience is necessary. An improvisation lesson will follow, in which students will learn how to enhance their character performance skills while putting their own artistic visions into the character portrayals. The remainder of the camp day will include activities pertaining to putting together an original Passion Academy ballet production of Swan Lake.  Students will learn choreography as well as participate in craft activities that involve making costume accessories, props, and scenery to be used in the final performance. Students in this camp will have a chance to be both the performers and the production team! Parents will be invited to view the performance in the studio at 1:00PM on the final camp day. Performance costumes will be provided by Passion Academy. Several snack breaks and a lunch time will be included in the daily camp schedule.
