The first two days of each session will be devoted to assuring correct class placement according to ability and experience.
AFRO-BRAZILIAN DANCE: Come and enjoy this mix of West African, Caribbean and Brazilian Dance. A yearly CRCAP favorite. No previous experience needed, just a desire to move your body with some Afro-Brazilian flare! (period 2)
BALLET: This course offers a relaxed summertime approach to a beautiful art form. We will be working on techniques at the barre and combinations in center floor. Come try this new way to Ballet with both classical and contemporary music. (period 3)
CREATIVE MOVEMENT: Ages 8-11 (Limit 12) This class is all about self-expression through movement. We will work with short phrases and guided explorations of your own voice in dance. Drawing on different styles of dance from Ballet to Contemporary, we'll discover how everybody's dancing has value and how there is no such thing as "doing it wrong." If you have little to no dance experience, but are interested in finding new and fun ways to use your body, you're ready for Creative Movement. (period 1)
DANCE COMPANY: Ages 8-11 (period 2) & 12-15 (period 6) Love to dance? Can't sit still? Be a member of CRCAP's Dance Company and have original choreography created just for you. We will explore both technique and improvisation. Previous dance experience is suggested for the 6th period class. (periods 2, 6)
HIP-HOP: Ages 8-11 (period 3) & 12-15 (period 5) Learn Hip-Hop and street funk choreography. Impress the world with your slick, funktified moves (get a great workout, too). This fun and challenging class is set to music that will have you getting your groove on! (periods 3, 5)
JAZZDANCE: A fun, athletic class emphasizing lyrical jazz styles to traditional and contemporary jazz music. The skills you learn in Jazzdance will help you with musicals, other dance styles and tax accounting. Some dance experience recommended. (period 5)
MAKING DANCES: Do you like creating new and interesting movement? Here's your chance to build your own dance works and combine them with music, costumes, and/or text. Bring your friends and learn the different ways to choose music, make costumes and perform your own dances. Previous dance experience strongly recommended. (period 1)
POETRY IN MOTION: (Limit 12) If a picture's worth a thousand words, how many is a dance worth? And what if you combine dance and words? You could probably take over the world. In "Poetry in Motion," campers will combine poetry-writing skills with choreography to bring their work to life and perform it in a unique way. Campers will be able to write and choreograph their own poems, or work together in groups and take on different roles. No dance experience is required, although it is very welcomed. (Period 6)
SHOWTIME: Learn and perform choreography from popular musicals like THE LION KING, GUYS AND DOLLS, WICKED and TV shows like GLEE, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, or that one time they did a musical on BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Come be a Broadway STAR! (period 5)
