Three camps in one week = lots of dancing, creativity, exploration and fun. Anyone else feel like summer is flying by?!
Next week’s Adventures in Enchanted Lands camp features a special collaboration with Gradient Dance Theater and Community who will lead campers on an amazing underwater adventure exploring movement.
Campers will each receive two tickets to Gradient’s June production of “Watermark,” a ballet by Laura Reinschmidt that explores the depths, currents, and mysteries of the ocean through movement.
About the Adventures in Enchanted Lands Camp: Step into a world fueled by imagination! Campers will create their own mermaid stories, hunt for dragon eggs, and craft sparkling fairy wings. Each day is filled with art, dance, and storytelling in a week of magical adventures and endless creativity. Camps are led by professionally trained teaching artists in our studios, and include a special collaboration with Gradient Dance Theatre on Tuesday of camp!
Big day for these students! Learning to sew your pointe shoes is a big deal, and they’ve worked really hard to get here. Congrats! 🩰
