Dance around the world and into the stars with us this summer. CityDance’s themed summer camps offer learning and fun through culture and creativity. Young dancers, ages 4 through 14, learn multi-cultural myths and themes and are invited to explore how the tales relate to their daily lives. They take daily classes in ballet, modern, jazz, hip hop and world dance forms, learn challenging choreography and even make up their own dances. Dance, ideas, cultural themes, music, visual art and poetry are woven together in a final performance for family and friends.
