SUMMER DANCE

     Summer is heating up early this year with Summer Dance 2009! City Ballet will provide the usual high level of dance instruction with an emphasis on fun and creativity in a relaxed summertime atmosphere. Camps, intensive workshops and continuing classes will keep dancers moving and growing in new and challenging ways throughout the summer months. 
     Participating in City Ballet’s Summer Dance 2009 provides many advantages for dancers. They maintain their current skills, develop new ones, which can assist them in future class placement, and enjoy a cardio fit summer activity. Students also have opportunities to study with a variety of guest artists and City Ballet staff they have not had in the past.
     Dance is an inspiring art form and with the vast amount of offerings for summer, students can “try on” a new dance discipline to see how it fits. Camps and intensives are held as one-week sessions. These will usually conclude with an informal sharing or presentation. Instructors will cover all additional information at the beginning of each session. Continuing level classes are offered at various levels. Fewer levels are offered during Summer Dance. Class Description should help determine the appropriate level, or consult with the instructor.
     For parents that are interested in all day dance experiences, please take note of consecutive dance events being offered. Many weeks have camps and intensives coordinated as to accommodate students who need to be active for several hours during the day. Dancers that are participating in day long or consecutive camps or intensives are encouraged to bring a healthy snack or lunch to enjoy during breaks.
