Our Children’s Summer Camp involves daily classes in ballet and creative dance. This fun week of expressive movement encourages children to use their imagination to create an original dance.

The programme provides:

  • An opportunity to share a creative experience and make new friends
  • Access to highly experienced dance teachers in a professional learning environment
  • Fun themed classes in different dance styles to develop their understanding of movement and create two unique dance pieces

Content

Each day the children participate in a 45-minute ballet class and a 45-minute creative dance class, in their age groups: 4-5 years and 6-7 years and 8-9 years.

Over the course of the week the children will create two dances in their groups, with their ballet and creative dance teachers.

In ballet, the children will be introduced to ballet steps and classical mime appropriate to their age, with pianist accompaniment.

The children are chaperoned across the day. They will need to come with snacks and a packed lunch.

At the end of each day, there will be an opportunity for the children to reflect and share what they have learned with each other. On the final day families will be able to enjoy a relaxed sharing opportunity.

Here’s what parents of our previous Summer Camp attendees had to say:

“Thank you so much for a wonderful week! My daughter learnt so much from your brilliant teachers and loved the opportunities to meet new people and perform in the studio theatre.”

“All the staff were very supportive! An excellent, safe, creative and uplifting environment.”

“I was pleased they had the opportunity to work on a performance with new teachers and peers and was impressed by how it all came together”
