Full Dance Intensive

This camp is for 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 3 years of ballet training to participate. Each day will begin with a one and a half hour 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 4 more classes in any of the following disciplines: ballet variations, contemporary, musical theatre dance, tap, and/or conditioning stretch class. In the ballet variations class, students will learn and perfect choreography from a classical ballet variation. The jazz, contemporary, and musical theatre dance classes will teach the dancers how to diversify their dance technique through each different style, and these classes will include a choreography session for that style. There will be 2 different tap classes: one for beginners and another for dancers that have previously studied tap. The beginner class will be a great introduction to this alternate dance style! Each conditioning class will have a different focus and will help the students strengthen their core, legs, feet, and upper body muscles, increase their flexibility, and further their understanding of injury prevention. 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.
