Dance Through Time: Jazz, Ballet, Modern Camp - Ages 7-10
Camps | Available
Travel through time, exploring the roots and evolving styles of jazz, ballet, and modern. Dancers discover when and where these forms come from, how they’ve changed over time, and how their own ideas can become part of what comes next. Each day brings a new mix of styles as students rotate through jazz, ballet, and modern classes. The week culminates in an informal showing where dancers perform in all three styles and share student-created dances that bring history and imagination together!
Tuition includes $40 non-refundable registration fee.
Cancellation Policy: CDC Administration must be notified 2 weeks prior to the start of your camp to receive a refund, minus non-refundable registration fee. No refunds given less than 2 weeks before camp.
